The issue of “gendering” raises its ugly head again, this time in Bavaria.
Hellequin GB, who translated the following report, includes this explanatory note about the gendering issue:
They made everything neutered, by the sounds of it, and the vast majority of people got really pissed off about it. In any case, it’s much more difficult in the German language to gender without changing the whole language in itself. I’m not surprised that people got extremely fed up fast with that Marxist nonsense.
The translated article from eXXpress:
“Because it annoys everyone”: Mayor bans gendering
A mayor for the Bavarian CSU is fed up: As the first local chief, Stefan Joachimsthaler has now banned gendering in his community Alling near Munich: “It just annoyed everyone and divided the community,” he says.
Mayor Joachimsthaler is bourgeois-conservative, but by no means old-fashioned. On the contrary: the town hall chief of the 3,500-soul community of Alling near Fürstenfeldbruck in the greater Munich area is up-to-date: always on Facebook, active on Instagram, always in contact with the residents as much as possible. He found: “Gendering annoys everyone, whether men or women.”
Two years ago, Alling also joined the “woke” zeitgeist, switched the community newspaper and all correspondence with the citizens to gendering. After that, there was supposedly an increase in complaints and inquiries.
Congratulations from all over Bavaria for the mayor
The turning point was in the March issue of the Official Journal, in which Joachimsthaler officially declared gendering to be over: “We found that the readers and listeners are more annoyed by the extensive gendering than they approve of it. It disturbs listening and disturbs the flow of reading,” says the mayor.
Since then, the Upper Bavarian world seems to be in order again in Alling. As in the past, the residents are again addressed and written to with “Dear citizen”. In the town hall, the reactions received have been almost entirely positive.
“It hit like a bomb,” says Joachimsthaler happily. He was not only congratulated in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck; positive feedback came from all over Bavaria.
Afterword from the translator:
Frankly I’m stunned: a form of resistance by an “elected” representative against the state-sponsored narrative? In Bavaria? Maybe the next step will be that they declare Prince Leopold “Poldi” King of Bavaria and become independent from the Prussian cesspool of Berlin. Although I believe they would need to purge Munich in its totality for that to happen.
To quote and change a country music song, 99 names of crazy and a bitch ain’t one.
Actually, I think it was originally a rap from Ice-T that Jay-Z remade and made infamous. But I get the meaning.
I can’t remember the singer who sang that song but the name of the song is 99 problems. It sure wasn’t Ice T or Jay z that came up with it. You will have to U-Tube it to find it, it’s actually quite catchy.
“Gender” is one of those words the Cultural Marxists had to create. Why? Because the time-honored jargon of biology, the study of living organisms (including humans) is very specific and inflexible when it comes to terms used to describe the sexual identity or state of an organism.
In contrast, the word “gender” can mean whatever the needs of the woke movement say it ought to mean, words as clay to be shaped to their ends. It brings to mind that quote from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland,”
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master — that’s all.”
Carroll’s brilliant insight was that the manipulation of words is ultimately about control and dominance, and who is to have it. If existing language does not suit the needs of the controllers of the left, then they invent new words and ways of using them which reset terms more on their favor. All of this alleged sympathy for the downtrodden and the like is nothing more than window-dressing, a bit of camouflage to disguise their actual intent.
but the scientific institutions are silent now. The geneticists in particular would warn that anti-science from the deplorables could lead to persecution and famine and ignorance forever as occurred when stalin destroyed Nikolai Vavilov in favour of the maniac lysenko. Western scientists are self-proclaimed independent thinkers who face nothing like the gulags but do not even produce an anonymous declaration of two sexes. Craven servants of Power
if you are blessed in having only the English language then you may not realise that everything is gendered in German and I recommend you read Mark Twain’s The Awful German Language to glimpse the horror. For today’s maniacs it was not horrific enough so now the choice is either newspeak which only a computer can master or to avoid gender via a long convoluted route eg the people who are riding bicycles. Your use of gender immediately identifies all of your attitudes and in today’s social media it remains as eternal damnation. Last time that they encountered the interrogation of everybody by everybody the solution was to always carry a bag in either hand so your not giving the hitler salute was only an accident of circumstances rather than a signal of non-compliance. Now the resistance such as it is consists of exchanging tips on how to circumvent one of the horrors. Before I came to western Europe I thought that John Lennon had erred on the side of drama with the line you think you’re so clever and classless and free but you’re still [vulgar intensifier] peasants as far as I can see. Now I think that he got that part right but the purported explanation of systematic childhood trauma has been falsified. The news of today will cause the resistance to rejoice, the Authority to ignore, and the peasants to slumber. America is the land of the free and home of the brave and that is that.
Having taken two years of German in high school I agree 100% with how awful gendered german words are. No rhyme or reason… And foreigners say learning English is hard!
It is very different when you grow up with it, both my parents and Grandparents spoke it all the bloody time, than to take years later and learn from scratch. That is how I learned the slavic and norse languages as well, all the old timers where I grew up spoke it and I was smart enough to pick it up.
Unfortunately for these ideological retards “Gender” means anything else except Male or Female.
What, in the name of der/die/das, is “gendering”? This word is never defined in the above article.
