Neither kilt nor skirt, or for that matter trousers creates a state of masculinity or femininity: it is the wearer.

Does a massive Fijian in his 'skirt-? Sulu' appear feminine-I'd suggest not.

By the same token the Tamil in his sarong - a garment also worn by women, does not appear feminine.

Yet I have seen some kilt wearers who do not project a masculine image despite all the right accoutrements.

So I'd suuggest that it is the wearer not the garment, which projects a masculine or feminine being.
