There's actually 3 genders in German grammar.

Germany badly needs some English speakers to create a "latinx" for them

lil bro germany is 2 latinx updates infront of the anglos

we have it for every word and we use special characters for it

For englishmen we would use Engländer*in or Engländer_innen

OK I'm curious, mind giving me a quick explanation? There is a gender neutral for every word?

Basically instead of using the masculine form as default it’s meant to be masculine*femininesuffix

It’s supposed to include men by default, the added suffix to include women, and the * or _ represents everything else

But it’s highly controversial and currently mostly used by progressive, big corp and government/state tv
