The funny thing is that I'm actually intersex, but in a way that only doctors and intimate partners can see. I'm also prone to text walls. The relevant endocrinologist is, to put it simply, behind the times. It's a long story.
UPDATE:
UnifontEX has now received a JSTF table, a process that fixed compatibility with some programs. It also has been given a vector DFONT and a better WOFF1 in terms of bandwith. PLEASE redownload.
Also, what this means is that the doctors never caught that something was amiss, even though it was very visible.
I just made a NEC PC-98 version via Neko Project 2 (the Wii version can make TrueType fonts into ANEX86.BMP replacements for PC-98 emulators) which has been uploaded.
It's not that I'm purposefully capping it at 2018. It's that TrueType and OpenType only allow 65535 glyphs, and I'm at 65417. Also, Unifont developers have drawn the relevant glyphs (they've drawn even Unicode 15 Plane 1 and still haven't stopped) but they aren't going to fit, even though they are compatible. I really want to put them in, but the old TrueType/OpenType format is preventing me from doing this. If you want me to put them in, please talk to the OS vendors to utilize Apple's old iOS SVG webfont format which isn't limited to 65535 glyphs. I can't even use versions of Unifont Upper 11 higher than 11.0.01 due to that same 65535 glyph count limit. Also Unifont is not color, and nor is UnifontEX. The trans flag in the retro computer BIOS would be handled by looking for those combining characters and drawing the trans flag in a 16x16 cell using color bars. Oh, and I'm not purposefully capping Upper at 2018. Also, the Tumblr codes aren't in the PUA and either use existing characters or KreativeKorp's Vexillo, which does it via tag characters, which the OS would also look for and fill in in a similar way. Of course, Unifont and UnifontEX's architecture isn't one that handles any sort of joined characters. Any emoji that use ZWJ sequences are always rendered as their components, and this is unfixable. Not to mention that one would run into the 65535 glyph issue pretty much instantly. So, I absolutely agree with your idea, but I unfortunately cannot implement it due to multiple technical limitations. Sorry about that. Also, with regards to the emoji pronouns, the first example that came to mind would be ones like 🐰/🐰s or such.
TL;DR: I absolutely agree with your comment but multiple technical limitations prevent implementation of it.
