  • I think that kinda weird and bad statement from the ladybird lead makes way more sense when you realize that his first language is german.

    German, like other gendered languages, uses the male gender for an unknown person, using a genderless pronoun like “they” in german is a deliberate political stance that would prompt debate and is unusual and, frankly, weird, since the male pronoun is used as a neutral one.

    Given that he apologized and changed it to they later, and no other incident of the sort happened since, I personally am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

    The ladybird contributing guidelines currently read:

    Use gender-neutral pronouns, except when referring to a specific person.
