Those who denounce sexist behavior or call for gender-inclusive language are often insulted and have to listen to lines such as “Here come the gender police!” Some German and Austrian federal states have even issued bans on gender-inclusive language. Can one appropriate such insults for the purposes of parody? What if you could actually ask an organ of the state for help in case of a sexist incident? hannsjana have founded the Gender Police and, in a multimedia work, present its most important areas of operation in the fight against supposedly insignificant everyday sexism.
