I preferred the gender neutral emojis of days past as well. Then again, I still type 
rather than going to a different keyboard.
rather than going to a different keyboard.Where is the Prince symbol emoji?
Today's iOS 10 update includes more than 100 new emoji with expanded gender options for a wide range of activities and professions, allowing users to choose a man or a woman when expressing themselves through emoji.
Emoji that previously only featured men, such as the cyclist, swimmer, police officer, and construction worker, are now available for either gender, and emoji that previously featured only women, such as the haircut emoji or the massage emoji, now also feature men. All of the new emoji are also available in a range of different skin tones.
The new emoji come following changes to Unicode implemented in July by the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee, which include male and female versions of 33 existing emoji. The change also included a range of new professions from scientist to doctor to cook, but Apple does not appear to have added these.
iOS 10 beta 4 is currently available for developers and can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center or over-the-air on devices running previous iOS 10 betas. Apple will likely release a new public beta containing the emoji later this week, and a worldwide public release will come in the fall alongside new iOS devices.

You mean like the neutral cop that was clearly a male and the long-haired woman with the tiara?
Why isn't there a man dancing in the flamenco dress? #equality
I'm offended because there is no female Santa Claus and Jesus.
And why there is no morbid obese emojis? They should be double size so those fat fingers can type it.

The next iPhone will HAVE to be a minimum of 32GB, since the core iOS software will include all of this extraneous stuff.
Sure doesn't take much to get a negative reaction out of the people around this website these days.
We’re de-evolving into cavemen. Instead of expanding our vocabulary, we’re relying on pictographs.
Since when has emoji ever been gender neutral? Emojis like the policeman or the dancing woman have always had a gender. Gender neutral emojis like the yellow rounded face emojis are STILL gender neutral. Geez get your facts straight before complaning about PC.

WHAT, NO TRANS GENDER EMOJI?! Im sueing Apple, Android and the Emoji Unicode committee
No, because diversity needs to be shoved down everyone's throat.
I was really hoping for a new MacBook Pro, but never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this news.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you the devolution that has landed Donald Trump on the doorstep of the presidency.
I hope there's an option to turn off all emojis, gender biased or not. I can read and write thank you, keep your hieroglyphs out of my phone...
A female Queen's guard with a bearskin cap?
Is this even a real thing?It's not being shoved down your throat. There are now female versions of various emojis if people want to use them. If you prefer to never use female emojis, or you don't use emojis at all, then you don't need to use them.
People's aggressive reaction to inclusivity is so strange. Just get over it. You are not the default. Not everyone is like you. Have a nice day.
