Apple has released new Emojis featuring gender-neutral characters and people with disabilities as part of its latest iOS software.
Users will also now be able to select the ethnicity of each character in the 'holding hands' emoji, while a drop of blood designed to represent menstruation has been introduced following a campaign to fight period stigma.
The new designs are part of more than 350 emoji approved earlier this year which have now been released to Apple users as part of the iOS 13.2 update.
Many of the character-based emoji now also include a gender-neutral option alongside a male or female version.

As a blood donor, I find the period blood drop offensive.
Also, they have a Saturn for whatever reason.
Shouldn't they have a Uranus for gays?

Maybe Uranus didn't have any distinguishing marks so that it would be obvious?
So they used Saturn since it was next to Uranus

Probably should have used Uranus with a couple of Klingons around it.
That would identify it

So, I can use it whenever some dumb cranky b**h is on the rag and I need to tell her to back the F’ off??
Perfect. I now have an emoji for that!

Being married taught me to keep a calendar.
It didn’t really stop anything, but it gave me a better sense of when to duck.

Alpha-males would never use emojis. These are all for the typical Apple sops.
