Insofar as I ever actually think about it, I consider this no more a part of my identity than my hair color or body shape or even my sexuality. I'm a man with man parts and that's about all it means to me.
This is definitely not to say that I think having a gender identity is strange or anything like that. I just don't 'get' that mindset. I could very well be the weird one here.
By and large, I think the reason you don't get it is the same reason that you're not aware you have a functioning heart; it's working okay and so there's no reason for you to recognize it's there. It's like background noise; you won't notice its presence until its gone.
Imagine waking up one morning to find you've suddenly developed girly bits, or some strange third gender that you've never seen before. You'd definitely know something wasn't right then.
