‘Utter Foolishness’: Apple’s New Update Includes Pregnant Man & Pregnant ‘Person’ Emojis

The next emoji update includes a pregnant man — a biological impossibility — as well as a nonbinary pregnant “person.”

The iOS 15.4 beta update includes several new emojis, including a melting face, saluting face,  several multiracial handshakes, a biting lip, mirror disco ball, and more. Perhaps the most controversial new emojis include a “pregnant person,” as well as a “pregnant man” and a nonbinary “person with crown,” as detailed by Emojipedia:

Since 2019 vendors have been making considerable efforts to offer all people emojis with three different gender variants: one Man, one Woman, and a non-gender-specifying Person.

This latest Apple beta update continues this trend by adding two new gender neutral people emojis in the form of Person with Crown and Pregnant Person, as well as adding a new Pregnant Man emoji.

The update comes as transgender activists continue to push the envelope as they forcefully reject the reality of biological sex and push society to accept their premise that gender is fluid — a move critics say effectively erases women, as activists push to allow biological men to compete in women sports.

Establishment news outlets and left-wing political figures are happily participating in the embrace of the anti-science position. In September, for instance, far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) defended using the phrase “menstruating people,” contending that “trans men & non-binary people can also menstruate”:

However, that position blatantly sidesteps biological reality, as biological women are the only sex that menstruates, regardless of gender identity. The New York Times followed suit this month, using similar language and smearing women as “menstruators,” thereby “implementing the radical demand by male-dominated transgender activists who are trying to cut out the cultural status and legal rights earned by women,” as Breitbart News detailed.

All the while, transgender activists are attempting to firmly ingrain these views in children. In 2020, for instance, the children’s TV network Cartoon Network promoted the radical, anti-science ideology in a social media post, asserting there are “many genders beyond ‘girl’ or ‘boy.’”

Ken Ham, Founder and CEO of Answers In Genesis, responded to the new emojis stating that a rejection of God’s Word leads to “utter foolishness.”

“For years I’ve been warning in my talks that as people, leaders, education systems, and the culture in general reject the absolute authority of God’s Word, we’ll find ‘anything goes’ as far as people’s worldview/morality,” Ham explained. “Of course, when ‘anything goes,’ it means anything except the absolutes of Christianity—which is what we see increasingly happening.”

“Rejecting God’s Word will lead to utter foolishness and people will be subjective and illogical,” he continued. “Who would have thought years ago that big tech, that produces some of the world’s leading technology, would not be able to tell the difference between a man and a woman! For all their technology, they don’t understand simple genetics.”

Ham further pointed to Mark 10:6, which reads, “from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.”

Romans chapter one describes a people who purposefully have rejected God’s design for gender and sexuality. The Apostle Paul, who wrote this letter to the Christians in Rome, said that “professing themselves to be wise” these people “they became fools” (Romans 1:22).

Unadulterated Antisemitism: Zohran Mamdani And The Heightened Danger Jewish New Yorkers Face

From lox and bagels to Broadway to the sitcom Seinfeld, the Jewish people and New York City go hand in hand. The nation’s most populous metropolis is home to the largest Jewish population outside Israel: 1.4 million. But since the November 2025 election of the city’s new anti-Zionist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, many Jewish New Yorkers are wondering if “home” will have to be someplace else. New York City long stood as a goldene medina—a golden land—where God's chosen people could live freely, something rare anywhere else until Israel’s rebirth in 1948. Now, with the city led by a mayor hostile to the Jewish people and their ancestral homeland, recent events portend a troubling future for New York’s Jewish community.

Mike Pompeo: We Must Resist The Left’s War On Religious Freedom

It should go without saying that the First Amendment freedoms of conscience, religion, and speech are foundational to our constitutional order. The more these rights are eroded, the faster we will find ourselves on a path toward the type of political and social decay afflicting so much of Western Europe.
