I think you'll find people here for whom their "manhood" is very important to them, others such as myself who hate their manhood, and still many others somewhere in between.

I don't think I've ever actually enjoyed being male. Even at my age (60+) referring to myself as a man feels awkward for reason, a poor fit. Being male is, for me, simply a physical fact, not something that gives me any particular joy or pride. My therapist has suggested this is validating evidence for my gender identity as female. However I don't like the idea that not being particularly male should default to being female; that would be demeaning to women.

I would trade my "manhood" in without any hesitation. My feminine side has total control over me and I embrace it wholeheartedly!!!!!!

As I open the door more to going out en femme I have noticed that becoming my female persona is much more needed. When I am in male mode then it is just that male mode.
My man life is much more important to me than my dressing, but having both is best. I do think my dressing has changed my perspective of my manhood though and helped trim away some of the lesser expectations and ideas I about manhood and masculinity I had that I was never really comfortable with.
If we are talking about stereotypical gender roles, then no, my masculinity is not important to me. I take it for granted, but feel quite trapped by it as well. I prefer to think of myself as feminine who "must" role play masculine. Nancy
When young and taking the aggressive role in a sexual relationship was always important.
As you grow older this role diminished somewhat.
