Christa Winsloe: Gender Rights Advocate (ca. late 1920's)

[christas_fan]

 Maler gehen spazieren und suchen Motiverln, Zu diesem Zweck bleiben sie vor, sagen wir, einer Wiese stehen, lieben die rechte Hand zum Monokel gestaltet von das Auge - treten zurück, treten vor, schütteln den Kopf und gehen weiter.

 

Painter go* for a walk and look for motifs, for this purpose they* stop in front of, say, a meadow, love the right side—in the direction to the monocle—contrived by the eye*, step back, step forward, shake their head, and walk farther.

(*Chris used “they” as gender neutral word, so any noun for a person (he\she, third singular pronoun) has a verb with conjugation form of third plural “they.” 👏👏👏)
