Thumbs down Apple iPhones adding pregnant man, pregnant person emojis





It says 'pregnant man' and 'pregnant person' are more gender inclusive options

Apple is adding emojis of a pregnant man and pregnant person to iPhones later
this year.

The additions are part of the iOS 15.4 update for the cell phone and were first
unveiled by emoji-encyclopedia Emojipedia last summer, Fox Business reported.


Jane Solomon, Emojipedia's senior emoji lexicographer, said in a September
blog post when announcing the new emojis that they "may be used for
representation by trans men, non-binary people, or women with short hair—
though, of course, use of these emojis is not limited to these groups."

Meh, they also have various alien and monster emojis, so a pregnant "man" is nothing

Apple’s capitalist western ideals of a man having blonde hair, a beard, and automatically being white, and wearing purple clothing is oppressive and excludes minority groups.

emojis are generally relevant to the point you are trying to get across in the message. I'm trying to think of a scenario where that emoji would be relevant and cant think of one

It is 100% primarily going to be used as a "I just ate 10 fajitas, what a fat bastard" emoji.

Apple's decision to introduce pregnant man and pregnant person emojis is a commendable step towards inclusivity and representation. Embracing diversity in digital communication fosters a more inclusive and understanding environment. It reflects Apple's commitment to reflecting the richness of human experiences and identities in their technology. Kudos to progress! Gb Whatsapp Pro Apk
