The gender ban came into effect in Bavaria on Monday. From now on, the use of gender-sensitive gender language is expressly prohibited in schools, universities and authorities in the German Free State.
The cabinet decided on the controversial arrangement on March 19 and last week, on Maundy Thursday, the state government published the change in the Law and Ordinance Gazette.
“Spellings between multiple genders are not allowed”
The General Rules of Order (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.”
However, there was sharp criticism of the ban from the Greens, political university groups, trade unions, gay associations and the Federal Student Conference, among others.
