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
