   during my german studies, i've noticed how incredibly gendered the language is. i discussed it and was shown some proposals to make it more inclusive and neutral, none of them yet culturally widespread.

   here is how i think the bundestag politicians should start their standard greeting:

   Sehr geehrte meinem Deutschesbundesregierungministeriummenschen und zusammen andere,

   Honestly, i think that would just be the most german thing ever, and I think it would be greatly appreciated by all involved.

     @libreleah There was a hilarious case recently where a little city needed to renew some regulations related to the fire department, and the local "conservatives" passed a motion in the city council to not use any inclusive/multi-gendered wording. The mayor then decided to just use female forms throughout the whole document, and now the conservatives are very pissed 😜
