Me, an extremist?

I’m just an extremely ugly woman in an extremely confused country.

Sorry. But somebody had to say it.

German of the day: Patient*in

Just kidding. That was the German of yesterday. No more “gender star” for you!

It’s Patientin. As in female patient. Maybe it’s even the patient, female or otherwise, who thought up the gender star and all this other nonsense too.

Germany’s Bavaria cracks down on gender-sensitive language – More and more German texts use asterisks, colons and other symbols to make language more inclusive. The conservative government in the southern German state of Bavaria, however, says this trend is driven by ideology.

And what is a woman these days, anyway?

What To Expect?

The same pointed political messages, the same leftist championing of disturbing themes, the same provocative (yawn) political exhibitionism from woke virtue signaling political stooges everywhere. What to expect? The same procedure as every year, James.

Germany Changes Its Gender

“Formalities.” You know, like whether you’re a male or a female or neither or both or not today but ask me again next week?

If you ever wondered whether mental disorders could be contagious or not, wonder no more.

The German government on Thursday presented plans to make it easier for transgender people to formally change their name and gender, ending decades-old rules that require them to get expert assessments and a court’s authorization.

Serving Grievances

Now serving language grievance number 731!

“Once you start addressing the third gender, it’s not long until you’re required to address a fourth or fifth and, for me as a lawyer, this gets too complex linguistically.”

Too complex linguistically? It’s too complex mentally already. Leave the German language alone. Please.

Germany debates how to form gender-neutral words out of its gendered language – How do you pronounce a word with an asterisk or a colon in the middle?

That means nonsense.

Nonsense

A group of German authors, comedians and academics have added fuel to the flames of an increasingly bad-tempered culture war over language bias by calling for a fightback against “ridiculous linguistic constructions” designed to make German more gender-neutral.
