It's not even their worst attempt. In France, those fringe "woke" people are advocating a forked version of French which is written with a lot of dots everywhere to display genders simultaneously. For example: "Bonjour à tou.s.tes les étudiant.e.s." which is very hard to read even for non-dyslexic people. The normal people are fighting it but they succeeded to promote that crap via a ministry and lot of universities are writing their emails like that.

Shouldn't that be "Bonjour à tou.te.s les étudiant.e.s."? Also as far as I know it's banned from schools for now.
Similar systems are now widespread in Germany and as far as I can tell they don’t impede comprehension.
