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?

I'm in. From now on I shall be known as Malcolm. Can't wait for the pay rise and people listening to me in meetings.

Right fellow men!
How do we get the name of this site changed to Mansnet?

My name is Cornelius Wright. Which is uncanny.

I believe in equality, so I've just made myself a sandwich.

Obviously I sprinkled some lettuce on the floor and smeared butter on the inside of the sink.

Tomorrow I will complain that the bread's stale because I don't know what a bread bin is.

But what about the high rates of male suicide? And men who can't see their children when they separate from their wives? And why should women get to retire earlier - especially as they don't seem to be trying to work in the most dangerous industries like coal mining or oil drilling?

(I'm embracing my inner FWR de-railer now I am a man)

Giuseppe O'Toole here. I'm a man today, but I don't bang on about it all the time - not like those bloody wimmin eh lads?

Like Rolf McCool (totally manly name by the way) I've been babysitting my ill daughter today, so will expect a massive amount of praise, and probably a blow job, when my now gay DH gets home to cook my dinner, because, y'know, I kept her alive whilst sticking my hands down my manly trackies casually scratching my man-fanny (and then not very subtly sniffing my hairy fingers.)

If he complains about now being gay (fucking nagging homophobe), I'll just roll my eyes and smirk in a manly way, then ignore him for the rest of the evening.

congratulations, guys, good to see that you are all expanding the bandwidth of what it means to be a man
I'm a man myself, one who has borne and breastfed 4 kids but in a very manly way, you can tell I'm a man because of the trousers I wear, I do sometimes notice other men checking me out.....nice for them to be challenged to explore their inner gay guy I always think.

I'm planning on frying a steak later. But only mine because the wims do theirs in a knockabout fashion that doesn't requiring gurning and using 8 spatulas.

Obviously I'll claim I've cooked dinner.

Datun Don't forget to leave all utensils either piled up in the sink or on the work surface immediately above the dishwasher.

Or actually, as you're a man now, presumably you 'just don't see' the mess like birds do ..... or the dishwasher for that matter. As you were.

I have secretly been a man for most of my life so it will come as no surprise to anyone in my family when I come out later. My DH will be delighted that he is now gay as he will anticipate a massive rise in my sex drive, instantly. He won't like the haircut but I imagine that he will get over it, especially if my sex drive does improve as a result.
I am already the boss so nothing needs to change there, though I may give myself a pairs for just being amazing at my job.
My man name is Hubert, and I may have to write a few books because, you know, the world needs to know how awesome I am.

Mess turnip? Frying a steak requires something like a PhD in both nutrition and trigonometry. The fat side requires the careful use of a protractor, for ultimate fat side/burn correlation.

Also in depth chemistry knowledge in terms of optimum oil heat versus choking on fumes management.

Duh.

I am now Lemuel Rangel.

I have informed DH that he is now gay, he accepted this with very little argument. I have always worn the trousers TBH... I guess I was already a man. I just needed to formalise it. I don't need to change my wardrobe or style really... I was mistaken for a man (a boy, to be fair) in the supermarket last week. The short hair & refusal to wear girly anything probably contributes to the effect.

Oh bloody hell. If I cannot see the mess as as I am a man, who will tidy up!? I live with the world's messiest human being...

I'm not only in IT and hold two relevant degrees, I'm also management: my credentials are flawless!

I have recently realised, though, that I've always identified as a member of the board of directors. My employer is discriminating against me by refusing to reflect this in my compensation package. WIBU to take them to a tribunal because trans directors are directors?

I'm quite looking forward to the improved sex drive actually. When do you think this will happen?

Just identify as the tribunal. Give yourself a pay rise and take yourself out for a beer to celebrate.
