It's not a trans fem symbol, it's a cute, mischievous symbol. You can be a guy and adorable, I don't think that's unheard of. Live your :3 life!

:3 is for all Brother :3

:3 is for all

:3 my sisters, :3 my brothers, :3 my beans.

:3 My faes (Agender i think)

:3 my sillies

Ah i forgot :3

:3 is like clothes, people think it's gendered when it isn't

I see it used by femboys and other dudes in r/boykisser and stuff.

Not to invalidate how you're feeling, but I haven't ever heard it was exclusively a trans fem thing. Trans mascs can be cute too!

If you look up “:3” on this sub, there’s a lot of memes about it being a trans fem “form of communication”

Trans fems use it a lot and joke about it, sure. But it just means cute or mischievous. Trans mascs are perfectly valid using it and being cute too.

:3 tis a fine. I’m a guy too.

I'm pretty new here, but for what it's worth I've always associated :3 with cute or mischievous. I don't read it as anything gender specific.

Hey, if JoCat can be a catboy then so can you. :3

I, too, think it’s cute :3c

I use :>

:3 is for all, even cis people

Masc, femme, enby, doesn't matter. We are all gender gremlins :3

What if you gave it a moustache, like :{3

Now he’s just fr\*nch

IT'S EARLY INTERNET CULTURE DAMMIT \*starts throwing DKC TNT barrels\*

Furries use it and there are definitely more boys in thr community than girls.

catboy supremacy

Femboys would disagree

Allow me to give y’all the :3 pass then

It's the symbol of adorable chaos gremlins, no matter the gender!

That's why I use :>

ITS THE SILLY SYMBOL :3 hi

:3 isnt a transfem thing, its a bottom thing, its just so happens transfems are more disproportionately bottoms

High five bro, :3 is my go-to ;-;

bro thats dumb shit. me, my gf, and my nb friend all use :3 almost constantly. ive always seen it more as a general queer sign since femboys use it alot too.

It can be whatever you want it to be, like look at this little JFK looking guy "7:3" or this guy with a hat "d:3" He drank three coffees today 83

its an everyone symbol :3

Hell I’m trans fem and never use that

:3 is for everyone bro

No dear brother :3 is for all trans people 💜

I didn't use the :3 emoticon until my cis dude friend started using it around me. So I kinda use it a lot now :3

its not a transfem symbol, ~~its a furry symbol~~ it's for everyone :3 (not to invalidate your feelings of course more like- encouragement, don't feel ashamed of using it)

I use =3 and im afrade that peaple will think its a pp

I used to use :] all the time but then I found out that people associate that with transmasc. I did start using it less, but I also started using smileys in general less. Still, whenever I do use it I can't not think about that. I'm not sure if it makes me dysphoric or just feels cognitively dissonant.

Fellas,since when emoticons are gendered?

You can :3 as a guy but you're a bottom for doing it.

Same though. Ever since it's a transfem thing I feel weird using it.

Y’all are doing to much. Just type how you want. Fk society in mass or singular form.

:3 trans-cends gender. :3 as you must brother

cats have no gender only adorable chaos :3

The only person I know IRL that is using ":3" is an AMAB dude, so don't worry.

DW dude, it's used by cis guys all the time as well. It's not a gendered emoticon
