OK, I'm a man now. Join me?

[AssignedPerfectAtBirth]

If I can't beat 'em...

I'm going to put my 'gender' as male now. Going to 'live a man' but I am not going to change my clothes, not that I wear skirts much anyway. I will still style my hair and wear makeup because I will not be defined.

So I'm going to tell me DH and children tonight. I'm not sure if DH will accept that he is now gay.

Any one want to out their inner man and join me on my journey?

Don't be daft, abacuss. NAMALT - in your case, as with many of us because you're now gay.

I must get off and shout a few tips to DS on his football practice.
This is one reason I'm actually a man. I already did that as a woman. I was clearly deluded.

Ifnot, you're not the only one mate.

Now I'm a man I'm wondering whether to pay no maintenance, see them when it's convenient and just post photos on Facebook so everyone can see I Love My Kid (TM). Job done.

Or, do I stay as single parent but lap up all the praise I'll get as hero dad? Although my housework standards have always been manly (rearrange slattern and you get trans-let), now I've got the perfect excuse, I'm a single dad, struggling along...

ifnot and notoast honestly no need for all this deliberation. Just fuck off your kids without a backwards glance, it's really easy. And it is the manly thing to do anyway. All us proper men know that any father taking equal responsibility for his kids is a bit feeble and under the thumb etc.

Yea, too right Lurked, as my mate Jonny said to me not long ago, "That's how I knew she really hated me, when she cleared off but left the kids behind with me."

I know I should be demanding pictures now of tits and general whatnot from every female colleague on my phone. I just - I don't want them. I can't being myself to text my demands.

Well, you might be gay. Or rather queer, plain old gay is boring.

Or, you know, just demisexual, which is this weird thing where you want to get to know someone before you want to see them naked.

Hi Guys, Lucas Tran here (I kid you not ). I'm glad to have thrown off the shackles of AFAB just in time to trade my car in for a new one. I'm looking forward to saving a fortune on the deal with just with a bit of belching and muttering about axel differentials...

Right I've had enough of dyeing my hair so from now on I'm going to be a silver fox. The chicks love that.

Bertie BigBollox here... shakes hands with all the other blokes whilst saying "alright fella' to each and everyone.

I have decided to embrace my true self... I now strutt with pride whilst walking down the street, crossing roads like a lemming - I don't even bother to look - I will just step out and the if motorists have to do an emergency stop that's their problem. If I get any grief I will walk infront of them as slowly as I can whilst shouting at the top of my voice that "Pedestrians have the right of way".

Whilst driving I will drive and change lanes as often as I want - mostly without indicating. I will shout and swear at other motorists and pedestrians if they dare to get in my way. If the other person is female I'll mansplain why she's automatilly wrong in my loudest most patronising voice. If I make her and/or her kids cry so much the better.

Whilst riding my bike I will shout at motorists who park within sniffing distance of a cycle lane. I won't bother to stop or explain in a civil manner I will just roar "get out of the way" as I speed past them.

For I am man and this is my -God- self given right.

I'd say great idea ali as I'd been pondering how to man up my use of the highway, however after I read it, being a man I realised that I already had those ideas myself. When I was a woman I had a big car that was practical for my needs. Now I am a man it has evolved into a big car for intimidating other road users.

Yes, I've started tailgating. Just because.

NB - male nipples only authorised

Grrr. Don't talk to me about nipples. At least you guys have the right quantity.

Alright Lurked Fella. Can you refer to me by my New he-man name and not 'ali' otherwise I will behave like a man child and sulk for a week or a month depending on when I want you to do something for me.

I would insert a cheeky/winks smiley here but all that stuffs far to girly.

Laters.

I have the day off work today so I think I'll play video games and watch movies all day. Newly gay DH hasn't asked me to do any housework and it looks fine to me so I'm free to do what I want right? Can't find my jeans though. I put them in the laundry basket 2 days ago so they should be back by now.

Quite right parsnip, you are entitled to relax after a hard week at work.

If your partner wanted you do housework he would have given you a list with detailed instructions .

The not so casual sexism on this thread is breathtaking. You have to laugh at mumsnet sometimes.

You're meant to laugh at satire.

Yes. There is so much sexism against men. I agree. Now I'm a man I can see it everywhere. I blame the media, feminists and the pc gone mad brigade.
If only there was somewhere on the Internet where men (like us) could get together and be free to express our feelings of marginalisation.

Quite right Kitten. All these women taking their personal experience of sexism and turning it on its head, to show the absurdity of it.

It's true, Karate.

What we are subjected to as men is heinous. Sometimes you just have to switch off though. I've booked myself a trip motorcycling across India for 6 weeks. Me time.

It will help me get my head straight and then I'll be back here re-energised and ready to fight the good fight. I've started a crowdfunding page to fund this by the way. Can I put you down for a Jane Austen?

Oh good Lord you lot are going to demand a MN MRA board next aren't you?

Surely now we're transmen we can just take over this board? We've as much right to be on it as the feminists. Then when they all leave, eventually, we can rename it?

YES! I want an MRA board. Fucking women, they are just after my money. After the bombs hit, they will be looking to us men to protect them and they can fuck off.
