How many MNers will join me in applying for a GRC??

[QueenDoria]

having read on another thread that it only costs £5 to apply for a GRC, how many MNers will join me in applying to ‘become’ a man?
one’s legal status as a mother will not change, and I’m sure we’ll all see a 20% uplift in our wages…
We might get turned down if the panel gets an inkling we might be insincere, but, for the sake of a fiver, we could swamp the application process…
#legalfallacy

I laughed out loud at this, it's so childish and petulant, it's hysterical. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

How exciting! Does this mean we can all have a dressing gown of doom?

Thank you.

It's very important to be aware of people with fraudulent motives.

Love that the sum contributions from transactivists on Mumsnet today (so far) are discussing sending fanny pics to women and telling tales about about women on this thread.

Hilariously juvenile 😂

I already have one. Its a mans one because pockets. And mens dressing gowns are almost universally dull. So mine is dull. <<<<that right there is what I'll put as my reason for needing a grc.

Q1. Why would you like to be a man for all purposes
A, because I own a mans dressing gown of doom and I dont want to ever have no or stupid tiny pockets ever again.

I've missed that thread and as a man now (well almost) I think I should read such threads.

The first thing I’m going to do when I get that piece of paper is manspread on public transport - and when a (sensible) woman (rightly) complains I’m going to wave my lady feelz certificate in her face and tell I need to spread my legs in order to accommodate my massive imaginary bollocks. Then I’ll call her Karen and tell her she’s denying that trans people exist and that she’s committing literal violence. I apologise in advance for my BS.

You'll have to practise starting any sentence following a comment by a woman with, "Yes, Woman's Name is right... waffle waffle etc". Very important that you don't say, "I agree with Woman's Name", that would give the impression her views don't need your validation.

Well you're obviously a gay man who crossdresses aren't you?

As I have owned power tools and not worn make up or a skirt for much longer than that, I assume I'll qualify.

So you've been 'living as a man', then, @southbiscay ? 😃

Ah, that would explain why I fancy men and sometimes wear dresses.

But still have power tools, assemble furniture, like steam trains, drink pints etc

I'm a gay man.

I wouldn't be too certain of that. You might be required to produce video evidence that you sometimes watch football and scratch your genitals while doing so.

Will it mean I become obsessed about moss in the lawn . Oh and mole hills

Yes, it's tough being a man but someone's got to do it, those mole hills cannot go unnoticed, or it will be the end of civilization as we know it and you're just the man for the job. 😂

It's also totally batshit. If all the men who think they are truly wimmin apply and , despite clearly looking exactly like a bloke, are approved then how can women , who look exactly like women, be denied from calling themselves men. If it works for the big hands, Adams apple, huge feet brigade then it works for us.

Whack the top of the lid with a wooden spoon, also works.

Oh no! How will they tell which ones are fraudulent, do you think?

When I'm officially a man will I get to go outside and do the bins and rearrange the firewood in the shed when we are 10 minutes from 12 people coming for lunch. Honestly I would pay far more than a fiver for that

On receiving their GRC, will their pay also be slashed 20% to bring their pay in line with other females in the company?

And will they be expected to take the minutes at any meeting and to make the tea and 'find some nice biscuits. Take the money out of petty cash'.

Oh well in that case you must be a gay, trans-masc femboy who cross dresses.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I presume extra scrutiny will now be given to applicants made after the date of this thread for a short while at least.

Unfortunately that could mean extra difficulties and delays for trans people, but perhaps that was the aim of this thread?

Or they might turn up with a female volunteer in a tight tee shirt (scoop neckline obvs) and cycling shorts to see whether you speak only to her breasts and watch her backside as she walks away. To be truly male you could be wearing grey jogging bottoms when you answer the door. Your hand will need to be down the front 'cupping'your balls and you will need to rearrange yourself as she leaves. That should do it.

Tsk, tsk, you are not meant to be laughing you are meant to be quaking in your boots such should be the fear you are feeling😁

PS I am in your camp, it is just so silly it would be perfectly at home in a Carry On film.

To be fair, you'll need to pay an additional £600 for the gender dysphoria diagnosis appointment and then persuade various people to give evidence that you've been living as a man for 2 years, and also get written permission from your spouse.

So you should probably get on with doing the bins and chopping the wood just as guests are due and expecting women to make your tea now, to use as evidence.
