My highschool teacher wanted us to use * and / as given in my example. I usually rephrase myself to not having to use / that much but idk if you can just use the male or female possessive pronoun to include everyone (if you use the * at some point in the sentence to make it clear) I honestly just use the / to be super sure.
You can just replace / with *, in pronouns as well: Seine * ihre, Kolleg * innen, jede * r.
[Edit: without spaces inbetween, but otherwise things become italic in here]
This way you are the surest, since everybody is included every time.
I really have no clue where your teacher got this mixing thing from. But all this is work in progress. Societies and languages have to transform and that doesn't need to be a linear process. Imo it's even better if it isn't, because exploration and multiperspectivity aren't very linear by nature and irritation and changes make for good opportunities to think and discuss.
For example sometimes I like saying just one gender, if it makes for good, well placed irritation.
Oh thanks a lot. I learned the whole thing back in 2015 from a teacher who was close to retirement and who lived and taught the last 40 years in the last hinterland district with more deer than human inhabitants. And at university I didn't take the course because I thought I knew it (and because it was being held on Monday morning) but I probably would have learned it there.
You're welcome. Well kudos to them anyways I guess. Some hinterlands outeight ban gender equality language so I'll them in as progressive :3
Yes, they're a based Pink Floyd enjoyer. :3
