I guess I do identify with being masculine, though I couldn't pin it down. Not sure if it's worth much, though, since my grandmothers twice the man I am whatever the metrics for masculinity happen to be. I suppose it's only judged in relation to a perception of femininity, really. Everytime I have to remind myself "you're being a bitch" (sorry ladies, my inner voice is a complete asshole) it stands as stark reminder that I know what masculinity -isn't- even if I don't know what it is, lol. Couldn;t really pin it down to any paricular act either. Since, in my opinion, when I sing, I sing like a fuckin man. When I braid hair, I do it like a dude does it. There's just this running notion that whatever it is I'm doing,and it could be a pirouette in a tutu, I'm somehow doing it "the masculine way".
I make that assumption too even though I don't think an actor looking to pump up the masculinity would do it anything like me. I'm conceited enough to assume that if what men do is masculine, then whatever I do is that - completely without any affectation.
