SMH. New Emojis Have Been Approved …Welcome The “Pregnant Man” And “Gender Neutral Pregnant Person”

I know, I know… who cares? But c’mon, SOMEONE has to take note of the idiocy… and it’s my pleasure.

Sigh… with all the things happening in the world, I’m disgusted that this topic actually took serious conversation in a conference room.

“Bro, people are literally dying…”

But I’m sure the ‘gender-neutrals’ would equate hurt feelings with being on their deathbed.

Fox News reported:

The two emojis, a pregnant man and a gender-neutral pregnant person, were approved by the Unicode Consortium and will be included in the next emoji release, according to Daily Mail.

“The pregnant man and pregnant person recognize that ‘pregnancy is possible for some transgender men and non-binary people,” Emojipedia, a voting member of the Unicode Consortium, which approves all emojis being used in smartphones, said about the move.

Transgender pregnant men and non-binary pregnant people are annoyingly long-winded ways to say “WOMAN.” Why waste more breath if we don’t have to? Sheeesh.

The explanation? Also doesn’t make sense. It’s a bunch of hurt-feeling-shielding and word soup alike.

Jane Solomon, Emojipedia’s ‘senior emoji lexicographer’, wrote about the new emojis in a blog post with the headline ‘Why is there a pregnant man emoji?’.

“Naming conventions aside, men can be pregnant,” Solomon wrote. “This applies to the real world (e.g., trans men) and to fictional universes (e.g., Arnold Schwarzenegger in Junior and Lil Nas X’s promotional materials for his album ‘Montero.’) People of any gender can be pregnant too. Now there are emojis to represent this.”

Gee, what a worry-free life you must have for this to be something that takes precedence.

The emojis will be available for use on smartphones by the end of this year for some, and then June 2022 for others.

Riveting.
