There’s inconsistency in the weight lifting emoji names:

Usually, the neutral gender is referred as a “person”, like:  
`:merperson:` 🧜  
`:person_cartwheeling:` 🤸

And so on.

Plus, for the weight lifting emojis, man and woman don’t share the same word orders.

They could be renamed as such:

`:weight_lifting_man:` → `:weight_lifting_person:`  
`:man_lifting_weights:` → `:weight_lifting_man:`

Or either:

`:weight_lifting_man:` → `:person_lifting_weights:`  
`:weight_lifting_woman:` → `:woman_lifting_weights:`

But I’m not sure it’s up to Discourse to define emojis’ names.
