注意けど。例えば関西地域では「よ」の代わりに「わぁ」って使われるから方言次第。

XD　心配しないでよ！本当にこんなにマジじゃないんだよ。It's just relaxed speech versus polite. Not boy versus girl speech. This is all misleading.

Ending わ is also used by men sometimes (actually I hear it pretty often)
from wiki:
わ【終助詞】てよだわ言葉の象徴のような表現。女性語として使用される場合は上昇調であり、下降調のものは男性や若い世代の女性も（特に方言で）使用される。

I would assume it is however they feel about it.

Being a gay guy myself, I would tell you that I much prefer learning and using the manly language than the girl versions. I'm pretty masculine, though, so if you were to find an effeminate gay, they might (don't take my word on that, though..)

Man. This is why I'll just stick to normal-polite until I feel more confident.

I think tou should have also added the coomon kashira? in the examples, as well as the opposite kana? But thank you very much. It was pretty informative.

I just realized, when I was looking though the charts, that I'm speaking boyish Japanese as a girl!
How awkward! I can't beleeve it!
How did that happen? I mean I lived in Japan, I went there to school and in my class were like 38 girls and 5 five boys and I didn't even talked to them!!! How did I end up with speaking Japanese like a boy? Is it the Kagoshima-ben?
