Unfortunately, we will always have the fools who can't get their heads around the idea that Apple does not invent emoji.
It’s not an emoji.
Exist in specs since 2016 but not implemented by Apple for some reason.
You’re actually right. Male and female symbols (and transgender one) exist as Unicode symbols and are included in emoji standard but for some reason Apple didn’t implement it as an emoji. It’s weird if it’s going to add just a transgender one.

To be completely fair, Apple is a member of the consortium. But even so, I don’t get why people have such strong feelings about these things.
Transgender flag emojisis what this world needs to bring about equality for all

Honestly we never needed any more emoji than smiling yellow faces. Because now everybody wants there turn at what’s consider an acceptable iteration of the next emoji

An emoji that gives any credence to the portrayal of people beating animals is just wrong, wrong, wrong.
Mix Claus?
Missex Claus?
Mexican Claus?
🤔
Wait. That's still a thing?

It can see it will be very popular in Italy.
I feel like my family has been marginalised as there’s no emoji that represents us! This is unacceptable in this day and age... To whom do I complain?!
I require a tall male, short female with olive skin tone and three smaller child females of differing sizes (one with an olive skin tone).
The body shape of the existing emojis are ok for my family, but has anyone else noticed that all emojis are pretty slim? I’ve not found a fat one yet but perhaps I’ve not been looking properly...

Being pedantic is annoying.
Being pedantic and wrong is worse.
Tamale is a word in English, and has been for over 150 years.
You don't have to know/remember about something to live with the effects of it, and those effects can be so embedded in everyday life that they get taken for granted. Global change from Covid doesn't have to be jarring or obvious in its connection. For example, lots of companies have been forced into a working from home model that they might otherwise never have tried, and some will see that remote working can work for them (especially if they've had to invest in infrastructure to support it). So some of those companies will continue to work that way post-Covid, so the demand for office space reduces resulting in a change to the make up of our cities. People spend less time commuting, so there's an impact on the environment and people's work/life balance changes as a result of that extra hour...
You could argue that Covid has only accelerated things that would eventually have happened anyway, but I think it's true to say that at any point in the next 100 years, our world will be different than it would have been if Covid hadn't happened.
How did we get onto this in an emoji thread?
Hey man, I’ve got asthma and I can think of PLENTY of times where I’d use that emoji—maybe not in the most serious, unironic way, buuuut…jokes about my struggles are how I get by
(On a general note, I think a lot of people [particularly younger people in my experience] think about emojis in a creative way—they’ll find a way to imbue the most random-a** emoji with a whole new meaning. Some day you’ll be texting your grandkid a bubble tea emoji and they’ll be horrified, for some reason that none of us can think up right now, but some 15 year old will think of it 20 years from now. In their eyes, the more emojis to do this kinda stuff with, the better. What would the Taylor/Kanye beef have been without the snake emoji?)
The best thing about this news? No more emoji updates until 2022. 🍾
Nothing needed except the smiley faces? Sounds like Austin Powers was just defrosted. The poop emoji was a game changer!
Seriously though, to your point, anybody getting upset about what’s available as emoji should re-evaluate their priorities in life.
