    The problem people have with the Generischer Maskulinum is, that it is exactly that, the male plural form.

      Grammatical genus is not the same as biological gender. Or do people that are biologically neither male nor female need a third plural form?

        That would be another advantage if we had a form that clearly eliminates the gender.
