Honestly man i respect your right to determine your own social identity but I just can't ignore the hard science here.
If you had said you no longer identified as a man. That I would fully accept, manhood is a descriptor and a social construct that exists only in the minds of humans. If you don't want to be identified by it then more power to you.
However Male is not some fluffy social concept. It's a hard biological truth specifically.
In short if you have testicles then you're a male whether or not you regard yourself as one.
