No. I stand by what I said. Its proposal was submitted to the Unicode Consortium in March 2019: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2020/20190r-swollen-belly-emoji....

It was officially added to the standard in 2021. To suggest President Biden had anything to do with this is just patently absurd.

According to your reference, the original submission does not have pregnant man emoji (or Man with Swolen Bely). It's later updated in March 2020 and added in 2021.

And with with a lot of promotion activities for LGBT under Biden administration, many weird things related to LGBT happened and approved. So saying Biden had nothing to do with that is self-deception.
