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 others mentioned, it’s a personality trait.

Society expects men to do “manly” things and those that does or enjoys “girly” things are often ridiculed (it is changing but very slow).

As a cis man who uses emojis when chatting, cute stationery, pastel colours, “cocktails for women” and other “girly” stuff, I assure that you will pass as male.
