A recent software update for Apple's iPhones includes a "pregnant man" emoji as well as a number of other gender neutral cartoons.
Apple rolled out the update in mid-March according to the Wall Street Journal, adding the pregnant emoji, as well as a gender neutral "person with crown" emoji to go alongside the king and queen cartoons. Apple also added 35 other emojis.
Apple first rolled out the pregnant man and "pregnant person" emoji in January as part of an optional update, but it came to all users with the iOS 15.4 update.
The decision to roll out the new emoji was met with criticism and mockery from many conservatives. Fox News Host Greg Gutfield praised the emoji as a step toward acceptance for men with ‘beer guts.’

When the my current so-called smart phone croaks, I’m buying a freaking Jitterbug.
I’ve had it with this cr@p.
My two rabbits have figured out that if they have fun it’s the female who gets pregnant. Guess they are smarter than our betters in Silicon Valley.
Yet another reason to avoid anything ‘Apple’.
Apple’s creativity appears to have been reduced to emojis and other additions that really don’t appear to improve things at all. I have been an Apple fan for years, but when it comes time to replace my notebook and desktop units in the near future, I’m going to seriously consider the “dark side of the force”, hoping that the computer won’t spout LGPBWXYZ crap all the time.
Of course, this kind of thing is low IQ. But I don’t apply that to regular people who go along with it, because their motive is avoiding social pressure.
The low IQ comes from the elites who force this stuff on us. Klaus Schwab, Soros, and whoever orders them around.
When these people laugh at us for accepting this gender garbage, they’re in fact laughing at themselves. They just don’t know it.
I’ve had Google, android, apple, Microsoft,etc…they’re all stupid woke idiots. We will use them the way they use us…until we don’t need them anymore.
Do you seriously believe that Android, etc. phones don't (or won't soon) have similar emojis for the same SMS emoji-codes? These SMS emojis are standardized for compatibility, so that whatever emoji you enter on an X-phone shows up as a similar emoji on a Y-phone.
Think about it -- it HAS to be that way. So don't trash Apple, trash them all.
This article is just another case of putting "Apple" or "iPhone" in a headline to gather clicks because it doesn't work as well for "Android".
I wonder if those new woke emojis are distributed to iOS devices within the PRC?
Do you really think Android is going to pass on this perversity?
You won’t escape this on the Google ecosystem. Google goes a step further with a bearded pregnant man emoji, just to emphasize the maleness. At least Apple’s pregnant man is clean shaven.
“ pregnant man”
I thought it was the “I’m constipated” emoji!
Well, that’s pretty nauseating. As well as stupid and unsurprising.
But they’re all alike, and the only thing I don’t understand is why “transgenders” have become the flavor of the day with all US corporations, not only media or tech, but in any field.
I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. They all have some amount of that crap now, unless you can find a special-order low-volume manufacturer who addresses the market for conservatives. And then hope they aren't drummed out of business for when you need service or parts.
These days I just ignore it -- I've taught my brain to not see it, so that it no longer distracts or bugs me. Not a perfect defense, but good enough.
It probably helps that I have lived for 40 years in/around Ithaca NY, the City of Evil, the most extreme steaming pile of liberal progressive democrats this side of Portland OR. It was Learn To Ignore It Or Die.
Western Oligarchs are either evil or deranged , though i suspect they are both.
I wonder how often this will be used - other than in jest.
