"my gut feeling is that we need 0 innovation to tackle at least 90% of the problems that challenge our societies, us as individuals and humanity as a whole. We just need to grow up and start doing the actual work."

@tante Thank you for considering!

Here's a post I wrote ages ago https://noodlemaz.wordpress.com/2018/08/16/on-gender-neutral-language/

And I'd highlight the oxford dictionaries link for future use but I've just discovered they've scrubbed/redirected the entire site, so, wayback machine it is (also possibly an angry email to them about that)

@noodlemaz thank you for the link. Especially as a non-native speaker it's sometimes too easy to use exclusive language.

@tante that's true! Many languages are super gendered and it's confusing.
