You're right but tbh I think it's so silly that using* stars has become the defacto politically correct way to address gendering in the first place. It's such an eyesore
If you use it, I much prefer a :, like Arbeiter:innen.
It's still dumb. When we're at a point where we have to butcher our language with asterisks and colons to please Karens we've gotta admit that the language itself is heavily flawed.
Turns out English and Asian languages without gendered pronouns are simply superior
what do you mean by that?
Are you proposing to get rid of the German language because it is flawed, instead of adapting it? First time i heard that idea
