    Are gender neutral pronouns “political” in Germany?

    Yeah, (like in french) male pronouns ARE the gender neutral option, and using they/them would be like using xim/xer in english

        Well, yeah, but in gendered languages every common noun has a gender, and gender neutral pronouns are very very new, especially 3 years ago, so even most people in those lgbtq communities use male pronouns as gender neutral.

        Tldr: yeah, but its like the tiniest deal ever

        Edit: wanted to add that in gendered languages using gender neutral instead of male pronouns when referring to the user in the app would be wierd
