It reminds me of the Mattel gender neutral dolls all over again. On the one hand, I’m glad to have the option to represent myself this way, and their very existence signals that acceptance of us is growing — on the other hand, it’s such a bland, generic version of nonbinary identity. Yet again, these emojis look like a certain kind of nonbinary person — an androgynous afab person — more than anything else, and reinforcing that image does nothing to disrupt the idea that you can determine a person’s identity from their appearance, which is the real problem.
