    Are you sure? I think for plural it would be ärzt*innen, without the e, but i’m no expert

      I mean there are no formal rules on how to form a gender neutral noun yet afaik, but what you stated is the form that would be used most commonly. Ärzte’innen is definitely nothing that I’ve seen so far, especially with the ’ character. Usually * or : is used

      You’re right but tbh I think it’s so silly that using* stars has become the defacto politically correct way to address gendering in the first place. It’s such an eyesore

          It’s still dumb. When we’re at a point where we have to butcher our language with asterisks and colons to please Karens we’ve gotta admit that the language itself is heavily flawed.

          Turns out English and Asian languages without gendered pronouns are simply superior

            please Karens

            what do you mean by that?

            gotta admit that the language itself is heavily flawed

            Are you proposing to get rid of the German language because it is flawed, instead of adapting it? First time i heard that idea
