😡🤯 German is a gendered language. The female version of "Professor" is "Professorin". If you wish to include everyone, it has become a great practice to write "Professor:in" (as I do) or some variant. One speaks it with a small stop.

Now Bavaria has outlawed this use of language by state employees, claiming it's ideologically motivated. If I were a professor in Bavaria, I could be sanctioned for the inclusive way I write.

Backlash against nature, women, immigrants ... it's all connected.
