Düsseldorf / Cologne (dpa) - BAP singer Wolfgang Niedecken (69) finds gender stars annoying.
«Gender asterisks annoy me.
I would never write a gender asterisk anywhere.
Would seem silly to me, "said the musician of the" Rheinische Post "(Saturday).
The question of how to design written language in a gender-equitable manner is a less urgent problem for him than, for example, the corona crisis or environmental protection.
With his daughters, however, it is definitely an issue.
“We are also discussing this controversially.
I then say: girls, I get it, but it's silly to me.
They see that - and I can accept that it is not silly for them. "
The gender asterisk («colleague») is used to include male, female and other genders and gender identities in personal designations.
