- Abstract
The book "Of Humans and Human*beings" by Fabian Payr deals with the topic of gendering. The author argues against gendering and presents 20 reasons why one should stop doing it. He primarily addresses people who fight against gendering on social media. The book criticizes the use of the generic masculine and emphasizes the importance of gender-neutral language in German as a foreign and second language instruction. It also mentions studies on gender roles and stereotypes in textbooks. However, the author ignores the perspectives of trans* and intersex people and limits the debate to purely linguistic aspects.
