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.

Looks like a "get the dinner on love, I will be home in half an hour" giff to me.

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
