Interesting - the ‘d’ is for non-binary, or other gender? It seems an easy fix for the headline of a job post.
More of an issue is the language itself. The French language is slowly opening itself up to having a male and female word for different professions that used to be gendered one way or the other. We have ‘professeure’ for a female teacher along with the traditional ‘professeur’ for a male teacher. But we don’t have a job title for a non-gendered teacher. An advertisement for a 'professeur.e’ would still be exclusionary by the judgement of the article, wouldn’t it?
- pseudalopex 6y agoDivers is Germany's official category for other gender. The article is about companies actually hiding ads from people who didn't pick male or female. We don't know how they would judge gendered titles in a gendered language. Most German companies just put m/w/d after the gendered title.
