Tech companies plan to introduce bizarre PREGNANT MAN emoji
The creative geniuses behind the emojis we use every day have released a slew of new designs. The new emojis include a gender-neutral âperson with crown,â interracial handshakes, and, weirdly, a mustached âpregnant man.â
The latest batch of emojis that could be hitting smartphone screens soon were revealed on Thursday, and they include some head-scratching choices: an androgynous âperson with crownâ as an alternative to the gendered âprinceâ or âprincessâ emojis, 15 new interracial handshake combinations, a gender-neutral âpregnant person,â and, most confusingly, a âpregnant manâ with a mustache.
The inclusion of a pregnant man is not a joke, nor is it a reference to the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy âJuniorâ. Instead, Emojipedia â" a member of the Unicode Consortium responsible for creating and releasing new emojis â" said the pregnant man was included to ârecognize that pregnancy is possible for some transgender men and non-binary people.â
These new creations are only a shortlist, and emoji fans can vote for their favorite abominations, with the winners set to be announced on Saturday, or World Emoji Day. The actual winning designs will be released later this year.
The pregnant man was slated online, as were the creators responsible for him. âI donât know who needs to hear this, but men canât get pregnant,â Abigail Marone, press secretary for Republican Senator Josh Hawley, tweeted.
You don't have the freedom to question the last election, but you do have the freedom to post a pregnant male emoji https://t.co/9wKPnCP32B

â" Brendon Leslie (@BrendonLeslie) July 15, 2021This isnât the Unicode Consortiumâs first dabble with wokeness. A collection of bearded ladies and interracial gay couples was released earlier this year, and Apple has included gender-neutral versions of its emojis since 2019.
