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.

*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.
