Comment on Why using the search bar to find emojis, does it display the male and female forms, but never show the gender neutral version even though such an emoji does exist?

  I shave my head. Where’s my option?!?

  To be honest it does, but also I just feel silly asserting my gender when I’m trying to simply convey a reaction. I’m not nonbinary but I try to make things non-gendered by default unless there’s a reason to. Why does anyone care about my gender as it relates to a shrugging reaction? That’s where I’m at.

    I miss when emojis were emoticons with no gender, just a lil happy yellow circle.

      I mean, they still exist and can absolutely still be used 😁

  Yeah that’s why I use it lol I’m a dude with long hair and that’s what it looked like to me.

  Didn’t even realize it was supposed to be gender neutral
