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.

The human race gets dumbed down!

Every year. Dumber and dumber.

There’s a posting today on FR that 1/3 of millenials say yes to communism.

The NEA has done it’s job. Created huge swaths of MORON throughout the population.
