Americans often complain about tech updates that don’t seem to do a darn thing. I updated my phone again on Sunday. Nothing changed. All those notifications for nothing.
Luckily, Unicode Consortium’s newly-released Emoji 14.0 won’t allow anyone to issue such a complaint. This September, Emoji 14.0 will debut emojis representing both a “Pregnant Man” and a “Pregnant Person”.
Here’s a look at the new characters:
MEN 👏 CANNOT 👏 HAVE 👏 BABIES!!! https://t.co/EArsvA4WC8

The word is these new emojis could soon appear on your iPhone as well. Give it time. Despite what Apple says, you don’t need the latest update on Day 1.
You are likely wondering what sparked this earth-shattering update. Were users requesting a pregnant man at a rapid rate? Perhaps, but Emojipedia explains the update was due to new information:
Pregnant Man and Pregnant Person are new, and recognize that pregnancy is possible for some transgender men and non-binary people. These are additions to the existing Pregnant Woman emoji.
Person with Crown is a gender-inclusive alternative to the existing emojis for Princess and Prince.
The above additions will mean that nearly all emojis can have default a gender neutral option, with choice to use a woman or man where relevant. A few exceptions remain, which are being reviewed, as per this Unicode Emoji Subcommittee report from 2020.
Ahh. Got that?
Why stop there? Good news is, they didn’t. The service also welcomed a “Coral” emoji to facilitate conversations about climate change.
Finally. I was really getting sick of discussing climate change without the proper emojis.
To be honest, though, I likely won’t be using the Coral or even the Pregnant Man emojis. Not for political reasons, but because I was recently told I should only use the laughing and thumbs-up emojis. The person said that when I use the other ones, I come across as a loser who tries too hard to fit in. Who wants to be one of those?
So, no Pregnant Person emojis for me. What say you?
Insane. Yet we still don’t have white wine or margarita emojis 😉
Charlton Heston didn’t really go that far into the future. Just replace apes with woke liberals and there you have it. I wish I was 25 years older so I wouldn’t see the world 25 years from now the way things are going. Pure INSANITY.
Looks like a salute emoji as well. I’ll use that one.
Got a buddy who’s gotten fat….almost like he’s pregnant. I can see him getting that one from me.
Considering an eggplant is also used as a dick, this will only be used for beer bellies. Moving on.
Men can’t have babies.
Men can’t have food babies? Since when?
Our nation is in real trouble folks
Nation? The entire world is crumbling into a state of stupidity like this
I basically have pure contempt liberals.
This is the world they have brought by us. How are we supposed to find a “middle ground” and “reach across the aisle” when these people believe that men can give birth
Biden’s America. Take it back. Vote with your voice and your wallet.
efiin right
Honestly, what man is pregnant? It’s not possible…instead should just LeBrat James as cross-breed Chinese Panda emoji
