As someone speaking a native language in which I need to rephrase myself multiple times and need to work with multiple / and * before a sentence is both grammatically correct and perfectly gendered - I still take my time because inclusion is worth it - I just don't get why anybody could ever be upset about English gender inclusive language.
An example:
Every cyclist should wear their helmet to protect their head from injury.
Jede/r Radfahrer*In sollte seinen/ihren Helm tragen, um seinen/ihren Kopf vor Verletzungen zu schützen.
We usually tend to rephrase these sentences like this:
Alle Radfahrenden sollten Helme tragen, um das Risiko für Kopfverletzungen zu minimieren.
All cyclists should wear helmets to minimise the risk of head injuries.
Alle Radfahrys sollten Helme tragen, um ihren Kopf [...]. :3
*Die Stadt sollte designierte Fahrradstraßen haben, damit Fahrradfahren auch ohne Helm hinreichend sicher ist.
Ich muss leider auf dem Land fahren wo sie einen in uneinsehbaren Kurven (oder mit 100km/h) mit 30cm Seitenabstand überholen.
Ein Grund wieso ich fast nur noch auf Wald-, Feld- und Güterwegen fahre.
