I don't think eyelashes are a good indicator because there was a young pegasus in The Ending of the End Part 2 who was telling all the other pegasi about friendship. He had long eye lashes but had a boy-ish voice and mane. Some boys do have long eyelashes, it's not really a big deal.

I think a lot of the surprise is also coming from the pink mane, because many people still associate pink with girls (either consciously or subconsciously.)  Although unexpected, I kind of like that Lil' Cheese is a boy because it's rarer that boys are represented with pink hair.
