At the end of the day, being seen and acknowledged as male is what feels right and comfortable. Running around dressed in drag like I have before is good fun, but it feels weeeeird and not quite right to be seen as a girl.
Besides, I enjoy the option of being a hairy beast if it so pleases me. ;P
Taking care of your family, handling your responsibilities and being a solid citizen are all traits if being a real man in my opinion. I think that some people have a twisted view of what manhood is and think that being a man means acting like a meathead at all times. I think that being a man means having the courage to be who you are regardless of what society or anyone else thinks.
Physical, emotional, and mental strength, intelligence, critical problem solving in times of need, and being able to create and fix things with your own hands.
