My now exH looked like that when I was pregnant, with his sympathetic pregnancy. It's the only bit of sympathising he did. I lost my bump when the dc were born but he didn't Grin

I'm going to use it for beer belly.

My smartphone just dropped several iq points

FFS.

Maybe it can be a new emoji for ‘chinny reckon’ - could do with one of those

Brilliant, an emoji highlighting male obesity. Men need to be particularly careful as shown with Covid, because sex & DNA is different for men and women and matters.

Can we have a similar one in bright yellow lycra next to bike for MAMILs?

Dear lord...

@PurgatoryOfPotholes

There still isn't a interracial couple option on the couple emojis for gay men, lesbians or straights.

See? 👭👭🏻👭🏼👭🏽👭🏾👭🏿

There is if you’ve got an iPhone and have the latest iOS update

Phew...

toffeebutterpopcorn · 17/07/2021 08:02

And only couples and singles... no throples?

@InspiralCoalescenceRingdown

The article says pregnant man, but the picture is a pregnant woman with short hair and moustache?
Yep

The emoji is waking lots of people up to how ridiculous this all is. My social media is awash with people, mainly blokes who have never bothered with anything LGBT before, all taking the p**s

Good.

In all seriousness, I’m actually concerned whether all this is going to translate into a huge explosion of unplanned pregnancies. We’ve already seen on another thread where a boy was unaware he could get his partner pregnant because they didn’t identify as a girl.

Unfreakinbelievable · 20/07/2021 01:52

This "woke" generation will go down in history as the most pathetic, mindless and dumbest generation in history. Their parents should be ashamed at what they created...An anti-America, lazy, hating pack of idiots. Bravo...smh

PegLegAntoine · 20/07/2021 02:09

Why has it got tits?

So the man can chestfeed, of course.

Because that’s so manly.

SupermanWithTheGreyHair · 20/07/2021 02:20

Too many funny comments to quote them all but this thread has really made me laugh. 😂

lolacola77 · 20/07/2021 02:21

I'm sick of all this bollocks! Men do not get bloody pregnant!

I sometimes dabble in Reddit and recently encountered a poster there who genuinely believed that men could get pregnant and breastfeed. Not "trans men" ie natal females but men, full stop. This really worried me as it seems that Gen Z is being encouraged to through basic biological knowledge out the window. They believe that there is not real functional difference between men and women besides their 'innate gender identity'. They are being taught that trans ideology nullifies scientific fact and that scientific fact is bigoted. This poster simply could not get her head around the fact that only women have children. She thought it was a bigoted and outdated belief.

It had me genuinely worried about the next generation.

If this story was true, it’s really shocking.

That's got to be a particularly dopey poster on Reddit, surely?

I refuse to believe there are a significant number of Gen Z's who are that intellectually challenged. I presume that even the most paid-up members of the twaw and tmam club put her straight?

But yes, it's worrying that basic biology is being downplayed to the extent that someone could come away with such misguided views.

potniatheron · 20/07/2021 14:55

No one put her straight, EdgeOfACoin. I was put straight for being a bigot. I was also told that men are equally capable of breastfeeding as a woman is.

fwiw I don't think they genuinely didn't understand biology, more that they thought it was more important to say the right thing as regards trans ideology. And were so keen to do that and so deeply schooled in TRA talking points and #bekind that they were completely disregarding biological facts. Cognitive dissonance and doublethink.

potniatheron · 20/07/2021 14:58

I should add that I think the ignorance comes from the fact that she knew she couldn't admit that trans men are not the same as natal men. TMAM and all that. Hence having to pretend that any man can get pregnant. Kind of like TRAs who claim that TWs get periods.

Outbutnotoutout · 23/07/2021 21:58

My daughter said it will be used as a food baby 1😂😂😂

This is just mad and depressing.
Bitofachinwag · 23/07/2021 22:24

I am not sure why that is called a "pregnant man" emoji. There's nothing about the picture that suggests that person is a man.
