    I don’t get the gender neutral either (using Gboard on an older Android). Which is a bit odd because as far as I can tell gender neutral is the base character, and the male and female versions are customisations that are applied as if they were accented characters.

    I’d rather have them all as no-gender, no-race, generic little yellow peeps but eh…

      But seriously, I think we should have never went down the rabbit hole of giving the yellow people skin colours, because then we had to give them genders, and then suddenly people are marginalised because they aren’t included.

      I still want ginger emoji variants now 🤣
