*innen Sticker – The Gender Star Ending, Ready to Retrofit
Black on white, bold type, no logo, no picture, just a suffix: „*innen“. It's the German gender-star ending, the most argued-about four letters of the decade, now as an XL sticker you can retrofit onto anything. Finally you can make language inclusive without asking anyone whether the star goes before or after the colon. Just slap it after any word that looks too masculine. This gender sticker works no matter which side of the debate you're on: one half puts it up out of conviction, the other out of spite. Both laugh.
Everything that isn't inclusive yet
The bakery sign: Bäcker*innen. The bin: Mülleimer*innen. The flat-share fridge: Kühlschrank*innen, which is gender-neutral anyway because it's empty. The neighbour's „No Parking“ sign. The locker of the colleague who has a heart attack every time the company newsletter contains an asterisk. Your hometown's road sign, so it finally gets some attention. At 148 x 54 mm the XL sticker is big enough to be read from across the street, out loud, by someone who is not amused.
Outlasts every language reform
The weatherproof sticker is made of tough adhesive film with a scratch-resistant high-gloss UV varnish. It survives sun, rain, pressure washers and three parliamentary debates. While the dictionary is still making up its mind, the star has long since been stuck. And in ten years, when nobody remembers what the fuss was about, the sticker will still be there, reminding everyone how long people managed to argue about a punctuation mark.
