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?

May depend on what device you're using, can confirm Samsung does this

My iPhone shows three options πŸ€·πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Are the colors meant for gender?

Yes, orange = neutral, purple = female, blue = male. They just did it like that

But the orange one looks exactly the same as the blue one.

These come from the fonts on your device - there isn’t some β€œofficial” image for each, just what code point is what

But how did they assign the various colors to genders? I mean, they don't even know the color of my dick...

It's stereotypes all the way down.

Another reason to switch to iPhone I guess. I was compelled by their recent announcement that they're switching to recycled cobalt (which is more sustainable and doesn't use child labour) by 2025, which might make them the only major smartphone company to do so. Fairphone is another option as far as that goes.

All of their planned obsolescence and anti right to repair practices far outweigh any other sustainability changes they've made.

Could someone explain why the downvotes? Lol
