The German federal state of Saxony - especially Saxony, usually known for its right tendency, but okay... - has started to completely re-write its complete legal texts, all juristic codes and official law texts. In "gender-correct" grammar.
It demands even speaking to be changed. When there is a gender star in a word, the speaker now should make a pause before continuing. A pause in the middle of the word, maybe needing to add a single letter after it, that is, so that the speaker expresses his noticing of the importance of it. At more and more universities it is already mandatory to do so. You cannot file in a paper anymore if you do not write it in gender speak, you cnanot pass your exams. This way, a small but noisy ideological minority enforces to get its will against the vast majority. By brute force.
If the West turns into a mental asylum like this, then nothign should surprise us anymore, since no madness has become so unthinkable that it could not be declared to be the new "normal".
Gender speak, hate speech, commanded tolerance, enforced consensus - you name it. Its all different project names for one and the same intellectual plague. Totalitarianism in the name of "progressiveness". Zero tolerance for divergent opinions! Social death for any dissenter, economical ruin and public witch hunting! There have been scholars already who seriously demanded the death penalty for deniers of wanted opinions, in Germany! The cause wants it! In battling climate change, anything goes now!
Soon the first Lager of the new order will be drawn up as concepts again. All in the name of the best for mankind, of course.
A representative poll some months ago showed that over half of the Germans said they are careful with what they say in public and that they think one is not allowed to express one's true opinions freely anymore. I am not certain, but the number that I seem to recall was either 56% or 65%.
