Emoticons are what predated #Emoji in a lot of chatrooms, messages, emails, and texts years ago. Also many come from Japan like #orz (a stick figure kneeling down.)
They can be used to save text space as #Emoji often will take data/text amount to send, used where you can't send Emoji, and they can also be more complicated, too.
#Kaomoji (Japanese Emoticons) and ASCII (pictures from text and symbols) fall into emoticons sometimes yet it has now today evolved into their own thing, too.

TERFs and herernormative pushing people often express Cisgenderism. Basically cisgender people who are discriminating or mislabeling or deadnaming or just misgendering Transgender people's expressed/true gender.
It is Cisgenderism to refer to someone past tense even as a child and retroactively misgendering them.
