Pregnant Person Emoji

A pregnant person holding their round stomach. Sometimes used in jest to represent feeling too full after overeating, as in a "food baby." The “Pregnant Person” emoji mostly signifies the pregnancy of a woman, which is a universal fact. But sometimes, it also mentions the pregnancy of a man, very playfully and as a part of joke. The main purpose of designing this emoji as gender-neutral is to acknowledge that not only women can be pregnant.

HISTORY:

The main purpose behind the creation and introduction of this emoji is to represent men's pregnancy playfully when they have bloated or enlarged bellies. However, with time, the top priority of people behind using this emoji started to be to increase the already growing awareness about non-binary identities. Now, the importance of this emoji is huge symbolically and its development has become a part of the ongoing evolution in the world of emojis so that diversified identities are recognized better.

USES:

Even if previously the use of this emoji was done playfully, now this emoji can be used by transgender men, non-binary individuals, or any other person who wishes to represent that even pregnancy has some gender-neutral elements.
