Protest with an asterisk: Schoolgirls demonstrate against the gender ban in Bavaria. You want to be able to gender in exams.

“*innen” is written on the poster with which two students caused a stir directly in front of the State Chancellery on Wednesday afternoon. It was only after around two hours that the protesters were brought back to the ground by the fire department. The use of gender-sensitive gender language is expressly prohibited in schools, universities and authorities. The General Rules of Procedure (AGO) for the authorities of the Free State of Bavaria now state: “Multi-gender spellings using internal word symbols such as gender star, colon, gender gap or media point are not permitted”
