Why would anyone not become a legal man?

Gender recognition reform bill to be tabled at Holyrood www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-60589578

I can't wait for this. I'm definitely going to change my legal gender.

It would be much easier to achieve equality this way, just think of all that administrative male privilege I'll be able to access. Im pretty sure I'll get a pay rise almost straight away, as soon as HR run the numbers and see that I'm a financial anomaly compared to my male peers.

I could report a crime and be taken seriously. It's all very exciting.

Im not worried about health care, obviously I still have my cervix, so that's not a concern.

One thing though, DH is refusing to change to be a legal woman - I can't imagine why.

Im not homophobic, Im happy to become a lesbian. But it means DS technically won't have a mother. It might be a bit of a difficult one for him.

I guess Mermaids have a handy pamphlet that will sort all this out.

I really can't understand what everyone is complaining about...

@Ifeelgoodgoodgood yep I have done calculations. I’m better qualified, I have better experience & yes paid less. 20% is probably incorrect, closer to 30%.

Excellent. I can identify as a man. I have a toobox and everything.

Plus I look forward to requesting provision of a ladder and a lightbulb when tasked to change a bulb, as DH does.

Remember as per the new law you have to prove you’ve lived “as a man”’for at least three months. Make sure you keep a diary to show them all the manly things you’ve been doing. I’m sure they have an objective criteria to test whether you have behaved manly enough for three months in a row.

Oh that's easy. Dr asks what I've done over the last three months to live as a man? Simply believed myself to have talent, prestige, expertise and attractiveness several levels above the place where I actually rank and expected all women in my day to day life to be awed by me.

You can also take photos of it, and send them to uninterested women

@GameofPhones

Seriously I think Scots women should do this if the law goes through.

Are there any drawbacks?

Would we be able to change back and detransition?

Would non-binary be better?

There won't be any. Unless by 'women' you mean ones who always have dicks, and would be wonderfully validated by having dickpics sent to them. In which case they wouldn't be uninterested. (They wouldn't be women, either, but let's not pretend that words have meanings.)

Puts a new spin on dick pics, a completely detached penis (swinging) might be the catalyst to stop them all.

Own my own money.
Pay my own bills.
Mow my own lawn.

Yup, 100% man.

Happy to take dick pics and send them to strangers. It'll be the cat's dick, mind...
