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've long thought about this, and I know this is lighthearted, but if we did attempt to do this in any seriousness/with any consistency, we would without a doubt get beaten up before too long.

Filling in stuff for the council asks me if I'm transgender. I still am completely unclear on what the definition is yet there's no further information...

Datun, that's so ingeniusly outrageous that you must be trans management consultant. Maybe you just haven't realised it yet. Come on out of that closet!

orange, or (possibly worse, if you disregard the physical damage for the moment) laughed out of the room, i.e. not even taken seriously enough to constitute a threat worth beating up.

I have an oestrogen patch and hairs on my chin. I am a man. I remove the chin hairs so I'm a Metrosexual man.

I have a male vagina.
It works exactly like a penis.

Right, listen up gentlemen.

We are now supposed to know manly things like how to unblock the lavvy and put a shelf up. For the older (now) men who were systematically oppressed in the 80s by being made to do home economics instead of woodwork, we have a steep learning curve. So.. we must brave the hardware aisle at B&Q to select an appropriate drill. And we are ^not allowed to ask the man with the orange apron* lest he will set himself higher on the pissing scale.

Your DH must be very appreciative and must also act as your attentive assistant, handing screwdrivers and top hats when required. And of course attending to the provision of cold beer and a free pass to watch the rugby after the arduous task assembling the IKEA Lack coffee table

I'm Wilfred Wood, which is topical as I've got some right now, what with that increased sex drive. I'm single so will probably visit a sex worker to get rid of it, which is my right as you all know.

Well I already put the bins out, and am a dab hand with a screwdriver and wallpapering and at unblocking sinks, so I must be almost a man already.

I'll have to mug up on drinking six pints of plain in a session though, as I'm more strawberry daiquiri at the moment.

I quite fancy being called Isambard or Horatio....

Oh boy, I'm finding being a real man as opposed to a cis man pretty rough.

Somone told me that my male vagina still looks like a female one. I disagree obviously and so am campaigning to get rid of the words erection, semen and testicles.

That's interesting. I have a female penis that works exactly like a vagina......

I'm having trouble with my new found masculinity, cos I haven't a clue about the offside rule.
Does this mean I'm not a Real Man?

Unfortunately I can't wear those low cut skinny jeans, as all my boxers are too manly to show off in public because of my bear belly so I am definitely not metrosexual

Keith Santiago reporting for duty.

I'm hoping that my first act as a transman is to have an argument with my new gay dp and then fall straight asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow while he sits awake, fuming.
