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?

We can just derail all their threads by demanding that they talk about us and educate us instead.

[DJBaggySmalls]

Everday Meninism.
We dont need an MRA board. All spaces become male by us being in them. But it would assert authority by insisting on a name change.

[ErrolTheDragon]

Yeah, no need for change, this is already the board which attracts most good old MRAs.

I feel the need to go and derail a thread on a subject I know nothing about now.

[YetAnotherSpartacus]

Except that technically, of course, it will be an everyday FtT FtMeninism board. Just saying.

[ColinTheDachshund]

Ooh, I can go and stamp my tiny paws in The Doghouse!

[Lweji]

I don't identify as a meninist. I think meninists tend to be rabid gays.

[DJBaggySmalls]

Lweji - are you a closet incel? Come out, you are among men.

[Lweji]

Well, the last time I had sex was a long time ago.
But now, with my new male identity, that will change. I'm sure. I just need to start wolf whistling random people on the street.

[scalliondays]

I announced my new male true identity and the children aren't taking me seriously. Small DS in particular is still keen on the activity formerly known as breastfeeding when he's tired. He keeps following me around pointing and demanding 'milkies'. I've repeatedly told him it's now 'chesties' but he won't have it - I'm so oppressed.

[Lweji]

You should call the DM to report the unusual case of a lactating man.

[Ereshkigal]

Just needs a tweak - Everyday Feminism Chat.

[AdaColeman]

Go for it scalliondays think of the money you will make by selling your story as Britain's first breast chest feeding man.

[Lurkedforever1]

scallion so young and yet so transphobic.

[QuentinSummers]

Yeah, no need for change, this is already the board which attracts most good old MRAs.

Good point errol. Thing is though, they never talk about real men's issues, like how transphobia it is that gay men won't sucking manclit. The penis fetishists.
Also really they need to centre postnatal depression in men's mental health initiatives rather than banging on about did men's suicide risk.
Really MRAs are just transphobes.

[QuentinSummers]

*cis men suicide risk. Even my phone is a transphobe

[scalliondays]

Lweji and Ada - I don't have a sufficiently good 'sad face' and I doubt I'd be the first.
Lurked actually not that young at all and definitely not transphobic - just old enough to know that actually bioiogy matters. There's not a chance that I could pass as a man and since men aren't socialised into nicely pretending I am one then I just need to get on with my lot - just like most women - we don't have a choice but to notice the odds stacked against us due to the realities of biology.

[ErrolTheDragon]

Scallion - I think lurked was referring to your DS!

[Lurkedforever1]

You're right errol.
I was joking about your ds scallion.

bob mate, just realised I haven't apologised for insulting you by abbreviating your name to ali. Don't know what I was thinking, insulting a sound geezer with that most foul of put downs, a reference to something stereotypically female.

When I was a woman I was ok at basic car stuff, but had a bad habit of researching or paying for the stuff I didn't know about. But you'll be pleased to know I've sourced a dirty great bull bar for the front of my car. It appears to be for a different model because I'm too manly for details, but it looks good superglued to my bonnet, and more importantly will show just who owns the road when I am out and about.

I've also spent today talking loudly about cars. Sharing my informed opinions on whether I prefer the old Toyota defender or the 4wd Land Rover hilux, and comparing the drive quality of a colleagues Lexus A3 to a merc 6 series, whilst pointing at their bmw. As the ladies can't possibly know anything about cars or driving, they were massively impressed with my extensive motoring knowledge. With some fascinating tales about my road rage thrown in for good measure.

[scalliondays]

Lurked - huge apologies - and thanks Errol - I managed to misread it twice and then got into a big huff! Haven't manage to shake off my womanly foible of being sensitive to criticism....
I'd ask you to come to the garage with me to negotiate for a new car as my local dealer just laughed and called me 'love' and said he's find me a nice little runner whilst winking at his colleagues. You'd wouldn't be exaggerating your knowledge though would you?

[CanIBuffalo]

Apologies?! Huge apologies?!
Maaaate?
No way.

[Datun]

Laughing at this thread.

Sorry, smirking and not really listening.

[MCBeatsandGrindah]

Right it's the weekend! Where are you all off to for your hobbies? I'm a MAMIL (although obviously I don't know I am called this) so I am out 7-7 today and tomorrow - will be back just in time for dinner made by the missus and she'll have put the kids to bed too, having been with them all day on her own. Champion.

[busyboysmum]

Well trouble is it's pissing down with rain and eldest son still wants his dad to go fishing with him.

So I've switched back to being a woman for the day so I can take the younger ones to the cinema instead.

[IfNot]

I'm at rugby training with the little un.
I'm shouting constant advice to him, very loudly. Giving him the benefit of my expertise. I mean, they've got to learn, eh?
When I was a woman I used to go off and get a coffee, because I knew absolutely nothing about rugby.

[BeyondLimitsAndWhatever]

Today I've sent the other half out shopping to buy me some clothes as I'm incapable of buying them myself, then I'm off out on the piss tonight. I'm lying here in my dressing gown, babysitting the kids while he's out (they are watching tv while I'm on my iPad vaguely acknowledging their presence every so often).

all of that is totally true and not at all embellished for the thread
