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

idk i use emoji all the time, if someone told me they would think i was a girl because of it, i would... look at them like they were fuckin idiots and ignore them LMAO

but i'm quite a bit older, if i had to guess (altho i am being a bit presumptuous here)- this reads like something one would hear from some insecure teenagers who haven't really unpacked gender roles. the concept of "passing" over text message is quite funny, i won't lie

just remind yourself that you are a guy, regardless of your mannerisms or texting style or... whatever. there's no correct way to be a guy, and i would say that being the way you are, especially if others say it's "wrong", is pretty damn manly, imo

you'll find whatever feels right for you, as far as presenting as a guy, from there
