Shall we all self id as men?

If all the craziness continues, why don’t we all self ID as men? We don’t have to DO anything. We can dress how we want, be brave and beautiful, join the Masons (whoopee) and this would expose the madness for what it is...

Pam that was the fabulous Man Friday chaps.

This is great idea. I'll identify as a man.

What does this from a pp mean, though?: I think I need to know, before I start re-identifying

We can use the black Bic pens

From this:

Bic really tried to tell us we must want pink pens Grin

Time, check out the amazon reviews on "BIC for her" - well worth a google. I'm sure it will reassure you of your manly identity.

thirdfiddle · 29/07/2020 01:12

Ah too slow!

snitzelvoncrumb · 29/07/2020 01:12

I think we all should. I think we need to use all the men's single sex spaces, let them learn to queue and feel uncomfortable with us and our kids. If we did that you can bet their would be a stop to allowing people to take over our spaces.

BruceAndNosh · 29/07/2020 01:21

Once theatres reopen I'm definitely a man so I don't have to queue for the single loo with twenty women and have no time for a gin and tonic in the interval.

BruceAndNosh · 29/07/2020 01:23

I'm going to be gender fluid. As a bloke I will have the God given right to disappear to the Golf Club all weekend but once I'm there, I'll play from the forward women's tees.

compulsivesnacker · 29/07/2020 01:24

Yes. It’s Man Friday. Been done a lot. If you don’t own a lime green mankini, you will be but a pale comparison.
New round here, then? Grin

Wanderingstars4238 · 29/07/2020 01:26

Hilarious.
They're desperate to take our privileges away and won't like it one bit if we talk of getting new privileges.

ALittleBitofVitriol · 29/07/2020 01:40

@nepeta

Are there still any posh men's clubs? Now they will be open for us.
Nah, the masons say that transwomen can keep their membership, but transmen can't join...

Also the primogeniture laws were ringfenced, transmen can't inherit their brother's titles.

Some more equal than others, innit.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 29/07/2020 01:42

If say I was to walk round with no top on, on a hot day in my local park, would I be done for indecent exposure for getting my tits out? Because men are allowed to in public so if they were to arrest me would that not be a hate crime if I said I was a man because no other proof is required and they must not discriminate against me in comparison to other men.

Otherwise they'd be admitting that my female body was exactly that and chosen gender rendered meaningless.

IHateCoronavirus · 29/07/2020 03:36

I’m doubled over with period pains. I sooo want to be a man right now. I’m in! I’m going to spend all my spare time rowing 🚣‍♀️ which might take some doing as the closest mass of water I live near is a stream.

midgebabe · 29/07/2020 07:42

You all seem to miss the point that the rules on self ID are sex dependent. A female person cannot self ID as Male without surgery ( in most cases) , testosterone and full change of physical appearance, and the approval of men.

sourcreamnchives · 29/07/2020 07:49

We can eat Yorkies

MysteryParcels · 29/07/2020 08:34

I've been wearing flat shoes, no make up and comfortable clothes for years, so it's a natural logical conclusion that I'm a man.

I'm looking forward to being moody or angry and not being dismissed as being hormonal. Well, not being dismissed at all, because I Am of The Important Type.

I'm looking forward to the self delusion of importance too.

In accordance with My Rights as a man therefore somebody who Can't Be Wrong, I'm going to be Martin weekdays 9-5 for work and myself Marie evenings and weekend for the lols. Anybody who says I'm not an actual man on those weekdays or who forgets my pronouns, or who evening-names me will be committing actual violence against me and will be dealt with severely by the girls in HR.

averylongtimeago · 29/07/2020 08:34

So will you be men all week or just on Fridays?

Well I love gaming, watching motorsports and hate musicals. Will that do?
I'm not cutting my hair though.
I do have the ability to clear a wide space around me due to my toxic IBS farts.
DH does pretty much all the domestic stuff nowadays too.

TreestumpsAndTrampolines · 29/07/2020 09:08

and drive trucks

I already do that :) and play computer games.

I tell you though, they're going to have to do some work on the average sizes of things in the men's section - my 5' tall, H cup body should put the cat amongst the pigeons when it comes to standard sizes :)

Yes, you're right. Hence the concept enbies I suppose. But we're all nonbinary anyway, just that no one takes any notice because it's, well, absolutely normal and mundane.
ErrolTheDragon · 29/07/2020 09:14

I can keep my long hair because I'm a middle aged software developer. Ok, so I'm not balding at the front so I've not quite got the look right but close enough.

monkeyonthetable · 29/07/2020 09:44

I am so looking forward to this. Instead of starting work by switching on my computer and, you know, working, I can now saunter around the office in lycra cycling shorts, stirring a whopping energy drink and leaning over the desks of the pretty young things for a few hours to monologue about my intense training sessions for Ironman, safe in the knowledge that I'm doing exactly what it takes to get promoted.

In two separate offices, in two separate countries, my team lead has done that - and then, generally, proceeded to strip down to boxers, in the office, and put normal clothes on. I do not know what went through either of their heads, especially when mid-change, they'd decide to wander over and have a conversation with someone.

Now, luckily they were both totally lovely people, so they didn't do any of the monologuing, just apparently existed without any sense of social norms when it came to getting dressed.
