Gender Disclaimer
To ensure that our texts are legible and understandable, we have decided to use the traditional masculine form in our publications and means of communication. This decision is not based on ignoring the diversity of gender identities or the importance of gender equality, but rather on practical considerations of language fluency and economics.
We recognize that language is a powerful tool that can contribute to inclusion and are aware of the societal debate about gender-equitable language. However, we have found that the consistent use of gender-neutral wording or making all genders visible in our texts leads to increased complexity, which can impair the immediate comprehensibility and accessibility of our content.
It is important to stress that our choice of masculine form does not mean that we are negating the existence or rights of non-binary or female persons. We strive to create an environment that is free from discrimination and in which every person feels valued and respected.
We encourage our readers to see us as partners in ongoing dialogue as we work together to find ways to make our language as inclusive and accessible as possible without sacrificing clarity and simplicity of communication. We are open to feedback and suggestions to improve our language practices and are committed to regularly reviewing and adapting our approaches to meet changing societal norms and expectations.
