Apple updated their emojis to be gender-neutral. What are your thoughts?

Question

They have a pregnant guy as one of the new upgraded emojis. I didn't realize that guys are getting pregnant so often that they needed to make an emoji for them. Humm...

coldmarch · Accepted Answer

If the news is not fake or an April fools, trying to give it an explanation, I think this emoji could be meant to be targeted to: 1) Biological women who feel like men and removed their boobs / hidden them and appear like guys, but didn't remove the uterus so they can theoretically still get pregnant. 2) Biological women who feel like men and only dream to look like so, and get pregnant. 3) A couple of gay men adopting a child or getting surrogated pregnancy.
However these are 3 very, very small niches in the society, so it's clear the emoji is not made "for practical reasons" but it's more like targeting one of those very very small minorities to objectify as an idol to clean their souls with (or their public image with, anyway). Surely not something to fish consensus from the direct niches this emoji represents, as it's an extremely small minority that from a marketing point of view would be not even remotely considered, but it's more to look "okay" to those who would think Apple is x y z bad things, and so, fishing from the progressist pool who might think:"Oh, Apple is becoming good!" etc. It's clearly there just as a symbol/tool objectifying a minority, just it...
Or why not, they might have added it just to make right-wingers scream for the lolz.
I think anyway it looks dumb or far fetched even for progressist people. I am one and I find this ridiculous and just a wonky awkward attempt to fix their image.
In conclusion I assume the 99% of users who will use this emote will be men who drink lot of beer, to joke about their beer belly...

Although God is long-suffering “Exulting of the wicked is short, and the joy of godliness but for a moment (Job20:5).”
”You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have flatten your heart in a day for slaughter (James5:5). “On account of these things the wrath of God is coming (Colossians 3:6).”I warned you as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians5:21).
—Apple 🍎 uses the 🍏 bitten for a Reason. They obviously believe in Genesis, the Fruit of Tree and Knowledge, Man is fallen, and if both Good and Not Good is placed before Man then 🍎/🍏 is guaranteed a choice 💰. And knowing the Nature of Man that we are inclined to chose “not good”/sinful AND we do.
—And since money, power, and status are the underpinnings of the fallen nature, then, they can do whatever they please even if against God’s Biblical Creation and Intelligently Genetic 🧬 and Physical Design are apparent to all.
—And that “Money is the root of all Evil”(2Timothy6:10;”Jeremiah17:11”) is so acceptable that the “Fool” will defy God’s Word to do Business and make money.-Removing Bible App for Chinese Business etc…

Gender neutral. LMAO. There's no such thing as a gender "neutral" person.

The term can apply to things like gender-neutral games and toys, or to gender neutral job descriptions like flight attendant, firefighter, and police officer.

Non-binary describes an attitude or behavior, not biology.

Convincing morons that male and female is only a matter of perception is as absurd as believing that the differences between horses and kangaroos are mere opinions and social constructs.

There are those who are attempting to destroy masculinity and femininity. Their tactics include getting rid of all gender specific words like boy, girl, man, woman, father, mother, son, daughter, etc., as well as feminizing men and making women more masculine. Not many people are buying it. I certainly do not.

globetrotter22 · Answer

Why oh why do corporations feel the need to cater to the deranged woke? Disney, ESPN, Oreo and of course Apple.

But seriously how many employees at Apple truly believe is this insanity? At best 10% but more like less than 2%. Why is upper management so spineless and cowardly with this crap? Why do they give in?

This “trans” movement is far from harmless. It’s horrifying. It’s one thing if a grown adult wants to make this decision. And there used to be lots of precautions to prevent them from making a mistake they might regret for the rest of their lives.

Now young vulnerable people including teenagers and now children are being pressured to take life changing drugs. I used to think there is nothing worse than a pedophile. Now there actually is. A “transpedo” is an adult who pressures a child to do irreparable damage to their minds and bodies but telling them they are the opposite gender or most heinous of all: making them take drugs and/or get surgery on their bodies.

There are lots of trans people who have deep regrets later in life and for good reason. They have insanely high suicide rates and it is NOT because of bullying and discrimination. No because 99.99% of the time they had some other major mental problem that wasn’t gender dysphoria. But now they have done irreversible damage to their bodies and the fucking woke social terrorists are pushing it full throttle including the fucking Biden administration.

I have owned a iPhone for the longest time. But when it’s time to upgrade I am moving to android. Also conservatives are just too apathetic when it comes to paying attention where your money is going. They bottom line hurts! I know it’s inconvenient at times but you need to stop financially supporting woke corporations of alternatives are available.

SweetFyter · Answer

I'm sorry, but how can anyone -- ANYONE -- believe that an individual with MALE chromosomes and NO uterus can give birth to a baby? HOW? I'm no doctor. I'm no nurse. I'm not even a high school graduate yet -- but biology is biology.

Hey, all this identity and pronoun stuff aside (I get it that some people feel a need to be different and live as something or someone else - that's not the issue), the BIOLOGICAL, SCIENTIFIC FACT of the matter is that males do not, cannot, have not and will not give birth to babies. That's my job.

Hey, I learned I can NOT compete with my brothers to see who could urinate the furthest from a standing position (yes, I was six or seven and I actually did try this), so I expect them NOT to try to give birth before I do - or EVER.

P. S. I live on a farm - so far, the only animals I've ever seen giving birth were females. I THINK there's a pattern here...

molonski2 · Answer

All this stuff pisses me off to the max , I think it pisses off MOST people , so we can an example in Australia , of a kid in school about 11 or 12 , autistic or ADHD , or other such stuff , I actually know his mother well , the school had one of these " meetings " about equality and acceptance , but to her son in his state of mind " Mum , they said I could wear a dress to school , I WANT TO WEAR A DRESS " , his mother said No way , you are not wearing a dress to school , you are male " How do you know I am? " , this then became a giant issue at school , media involved , mother received love and hate mail , her letterbox full , inbox full , SMS full ( god knows how that detail got out ) and the entire thing spiraled completely out of control - one micro incident .

And here we are trying to promote the fact that men can be pregnant? Bad news THEY can't , unless they are a TOM , who declares her self a MAN ! When is all this utter bs going to stop?

PC/woke culture run amok! I think the results in November will send a strong signal to stop this nonsense!

exitseven · Answer

I was never a fan of Apple products. I always felt their computers were just one step above an etch a sketch. It is a company run by moonbats. Steve Jobs could have had his cancer cured if he had chemo but he decided on an "Organic cure" so by the time he decided that what he was doing ws not going to work it was too late. You cannot get more of a moonbat than that.

Squaresquirrel · Answer

I never had Apple, never will have. Overpriced, overhyped.
I'm boycotting the woke agenda anyway. There are no pregnant people, women are not men on hormones and I won't use stupid pronouns and made up genders.
Those men who want to breastfeed, need therapy, not an emoji

t-8900 · Answer

I've only ever purchased one apple product in my life, a calssic ipod with something like 80gb or something when I was 14, before woke insanity was a thing and before I was old enough to care about politics. The left is against God, humanity, nature, science, and sanity, just face it. Anyone who endorses this level of evil doesn't deserve a place at your table. I don't care how much pressure the loonies push, I will not give into the evil.

OneManOnly01 · Answer

This is happening everywhere and it's making me sick. Replacing male characters with female characters in superhero comics and franchise.

Making popular characters homosexual like Superman is now gay and Captain Marvel will be lesbian.

And now this nonsense pregant guy emoji just to make it 'gender neutral'. If the law was in my hands, I would force apple and disney and other such conglomerates to pay a 500 million dollar fine for doing such things.

TruthBringer · Answer

Of course Apple supports this kind of degenerecy. Whatever the woke leftists try to sell the world, it annoys the living crap out of them that the majority of people won't buy the fact that a man can never give birth to a child. No matter how many hormone therapies or emojis it takes. It won't change that fact.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Not an Apple fan, few years back bought a bunch of music on iTunes and they lost it and wouldn't give it back, they told me I had to re-buy it. I said sure but not from you assholes.

and thus I've never bought another Apple product since.

'Beatie had gender reassignment surgery in March 2002 and became known as "the pregnant man" after he became pregnant through artificial insemination in 2007. Beatie chose to be pregnant because his wife Nancy was infertile, doing so with donated sperm.' Could be a emojis for this guy.

But honestly who cares emojis are emojis. Next people will say one cannot have a ghost emoji because ghosts don't exist. Like... a emoji is just a emoji.

IceCreamSandwich · Answer

Oh I just heard about that! I don't use apple anyway and it's a company so it's just for appeal for money, but the emoji is supposed to be a trans guy. So they still can get pregnant cause they were born with a womb and all, but they look like a guy. That's what the emoji is.

anton_dee · Answer

Fuckin dumb if you ask me. What are they tryna achieve?

I personally don't differentiate. For me the person in front of me is a human and hence deserves respect. I don't care what that person identifies as.

The more we create things like this, the more we create chaos.

It's purely a symbolic gesture to the fringe deviant minority. The bigger problem is that the larger society has been conditioned to not raise a fuss about it, lest they be called bigots'.

Clearly men cannot get pregnant.

WhiteSteve · Answer

Haha, I saw that pregnant guy. I don’t necessarily get it, but I know other people’s behavior and beliefs and all that are absolutely none of my business and have zero effect on my life, so I don’t trip about it. Live and let live at all times, Life Rule #1.

Luggit · Answer

It's the dumbest emoji I have seen yet. Someone has a lot of time on their hands basing their thoughts on hermaphrodites, transgenders, transvestites, and transfeminine men around the world to come up with that emoji. A hermaphrodite can get pregnant, but it's very rare.

Anonymous · Answer

Ugh. Smh...

No BIOLOGICAL MALE can get pregnant. Period.

You either have a penis or a vagina. Those with vaginas have periods and can get pregnant. Those with a penis cannot and do not. That's just how it is. Sorry, but you are what you are.

Fukaroo · Answer

People need to learn to accept themselves as they are. Running away to a mythical body that shouldn't exist gets you nowhere. I know that's hurtful but so is running away from who you truly are physically. Mentally you can be whoever you want. Playing God with your own body doesn't end well. Get rid of the emotes, they make zero sense. Neither do I.

…………and everyone thought I was kidding when I stated leftists are saying that both pregnancy and menstruation are social constructs and men can do both.

This manner of thing will lead to the end of this country. It’s utterly foolish and profligate.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Huge parts of the ''Western World'' are heading towards madness, deterioration and decadence.
We see the beginnings of the end.
Just like the mighty Roman Empire once crumbled from within. And others before that one.
Apple -and Microsoft as well - will be just an anecdote in overall world history.
I won't see it myself - but there will be something else once they went down.
Emoji's won't change that :D
...
oops - now I used one myself, heh heh.
