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
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 :)
