Masculinity means, in a sense, the same thing to me as femininity. It’s half of who I am. The half that I express myself outwardly as, but not the half that makes me the person that I am. I need both my feminine and masculine sides in order to be my true self, but I also see them both as the same thing; powerful, strong, unique features of myself that I also see as interchangeable. If you ask me what’s masculine or feminine about me, my answer would be simple, everything.
