How Do You Personally Define Masculinity?

[pretty]

Honestly, I feel like in the trans community people are trying to make the words masculine and feminine completely intangible just so they don't have to think about why their "gender identity" totally disagrees with (and comically is often diametrically opposed to) their behavior, mannerisms, interests and sexuality.

The way I personally define "masculinity" is  sort of like "being a gentleman". Characteristics such as politeness, respect, a willingness to put yourself in danger and to look out for others, are, I believe, traits anyone, man or woman, should have; and to me PERSONALLY "masculinity" combines these with honing your body and mind to be the best it can be.  I think true masculinity unites sensitivity and strength. So does femininity, but masculinity has a subtly different way of doing it, a different "flavour", if you like - I can't explain what I think it is, it just IS. It isn't a political thing for me, it's just a feeling and identity I have.
