Normalisation absolutely helps, yes. All the monstrous GOP rhetoric hinges on othering trans folks. An emoji is a tiny step, but every little helps. Unironically thank you for asking, that was actually an excellent and important question.

Looks like an encoding problem, not a font problem. Make sure your terminal is configured to use the UTF-8 encoding.

One might surmise that the people doing the electing and the people doing the protesting are not in fact the same people.
