As a native speaker of one of the above, I’m sometimes confused when people online use “he” for a generic duck or cat or other animals that are female in my native language
This is not true anymore as we have all moved to de-gender our language according to the teachings of the late Hermes Phettberg by which gender-specific endings are replaced by the letter Y.
So, i.e. the German word for a person operating a bakery is now “Bäcky” instead of “Bäcker” (m) and “Bäckerin” (f).
you must find it really annoying to learn Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, and a bunch of other languages that have gendered nouns.
Yeah not relevant to english tho as there actually is a solution for the problem unlike other languages
