Well, all my life I've just been me. I wear clothes because I see them on men and think that it's a look that suits me, or because I spent a lot of time in my father's closet as a kid and just inherited most of his fashion sense, so in that sense, I've definitely been influenced. I'm not highly into fashion, but because my father is a bit prissy, I've come to appreciate the tapered dress shirts and suit coats that he wears so often.
Usually, though, I develop my sense of self on my own. I have an image in my mind of what I am supposed to look like that I don't believe has ever been based on stereotypes, but instead a sort of "inner sense". I probably developed this inner sense when I was about 10 years old; before that, I just wore whatever I was offered, but envied the men in my life.
Behaviorally, I've never displayed "forced masculinity", and don't really understand what constitutes "masculinity" in myself aside from identification with other men, having a very obvious male identity, and seeing myself in the male role in society. I don't spit or act like a buffoon, but women are a different species to me. It's likely that because I was raised in a very liberal environment that I am not stereotypical one way or another. I like it that way.
I like cooking, and I do like slash. Or yaoi. Or whatever you want to call it. That's because a lot of my life, I've identified as a gay man, and that was one way to live vicariously through certain characters. I'm also a writer. I also love music. I've been playing piano for most of my life, as it is a natural talent and something I generally love to do. I also love animals -- primarily, birds -- and I'm interested in the sciences, particularly biology. I am interested in medicine, in anatomy, in infectious diseases, to a lesser extent pharmaceuticals. Drugs are interesting. I've got a very knowledge-oriented existence. In my spare time, I like to cook, watch movies, cycle and spend time outdoors with my feathered kids. I would say I'm pretty much not gendered at all in my interests, but if I do like anything feminine, I do not repress it by any means. There's quite a massive difference between being feminine and being female.
