sometimes i feel like my mannerisms are too girly/unpassable even though im a guy (a trans one or under the umbrella like the community im posting in), like i know it doesn’t mean anything, but someone told someone they wouldn’t pass as male if they used emojis like 😭 or ☺️ even though my bf uses them all the time. idk, i know im a guy and there’s nothing wrong with femininity, but still, this is a lil rant i guess
As a cis guy, I rarely use emojis other than thumbs up, but that doesn’t make me any more masculine than you.
Please don’t measure yourself by toxic stereotypes like men are power hungry brutes that see any display of emotions as weakness.
thank you so much 🙏 a trans girl (she was a tomboy) actually said she was more masculine than emoji-users because she didn’t use emojis and that it gave away being afab or something because it’s “how teenage girls text”. thank you thank you!!!
To me emojis are more age than gender coded.
For example most young people I know (with the exception of one teenage boy) are similarly sparse with emojis as I am, and if you sprinkle some of 😄😎😳🤗🥰🤩 in and you can fit in with boomers and gen x of any gender.
that makes more sense than what she said, thanks so much!!! i tend to use more emoticons than emojis like ^^ or :)
