So I was sitting with a guy at work at lunch playing Mario Kart
He'd been blasting about his skill at Mario Kart for a while so I suggested we bring our Nintendo Switches in and settle things
He is a zoomer so has only ever experience Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch. He didn't even know it was a Wii U game first. He hadn't even heard of the Wii U lmao.
Me, being a pro at every Mario Kart since 64 (SNES version sucked), beat him easily, but I was still very happy in doing so.
As I'm smiling and doing a little victory dance, he goes to me "You look quite feminine when you do that".
He's quite blunt but not in a mean way. It's like he's got no inhibitions about talking to someone about sensitive subjects. Probably autism.
I asked him what he meant and he went quiet and just mumbled "Sorry just thought the way you laughed and smiled was a bit feminine."
Someone else chipped in with "Yeah it's your girly lips."
I can handle shit like this so I didn't get upset and gave them some banter back.
But I've been thinking all afternoon. Do they know?
I've got a beard, male-pattern baldness and am quite muscly. Basically look like a stocky manlet. But do they know? Should I care if they do?

He's got a little micro-hardon for suppressing my speech.
There comes a point where the ironic Jannie act transcends into an unironic mega-Jannie, and Lappland crossed the threshold a long time ago.

Could be. He is a little bit camp. Maybe he's worried I've clocked that he's gay and that's why he seemed a bit embarrassed.

Yes but every Zoomer should have heard of it if they have heard of a DS.

Wdym adopting strange personality traits?
I don't mind what people think, but if I'm deluding myself that I pass then I'd kind of like to know.

Sorry im r-slurred. What I meant to say was:
Best advice to stop getting anxiety about passing is: Unless its explicitly stated, dont assume anyone gives a shit. Some might, some wont, but hunting for ghosts behind thoughts behind vague mentions like that is a recipe for anxiety. You cant read they mind, so why try? Sounds like youre fine.
I'm not even train adjacent this is just general advice for people who worry too much about things that they, ultimately, can't be sure about.
Edit: God I sound like a redditor just shoot me.
