@petko@social.petko.me @streetcomplete@mastodon.social It should be noted that the StreetComplete account is unofficial. But the owner (sorry I can't remember your handle) tried suggesting a partially tongue-in-cheek suggestion to make the German text more neutral that the same maintainer who replied "No thanks" admitted that they thought was trolling...

@thesupertechie@lgbtqia.space @petko@social.petko.me that's me, and the handle is readable at any time in the profile of @streetcomplete@mastodon.social. And no, if you're suggesting I was trolling, I absolutely was not. I said the generic feminine suggestion was partially tongue-in-cheek, but the argument behind it was completely serious. Reversing the generic-masculine argument is a nice way to hold a mirror up to it and show why people may not feel included by a supposedly "generic" gendered form.
