VeganerinnenVeganern

VeganerinnenVeganern is a gender-inclusive formulation in German intended to refer to a group of vegans that includes both women and men. The term is created by juxtaposing the feminine plural form Veganerinnen with the masculine plural form Veganer, without an explicit connector or separator.

Usage of the term occurs in certain vegan communities, online content, event programs, or lists where a single word is desired to denote all vegans regardless of gender. In many contexts, however, writers prefer clearer alternatives such as Veganerinnen und Veganer or Veganerinnen/Veganer to maintain readability and avoid potential ambiguity. The concatenated form is more common in social media, activist writing, or situations with limited space.

Linguistic notes: The form reflects broader discussions about gender-inclusive language in German. It is not part of standard orthography and is not widely endorsed by major style guides. Proponents view it as a compact way to acknowledge both genders in one term, while critics argue that it can hinder readability and introduce confusion.

For those seeking standard usage, the recommended alternatives are to write Veganerinnen und Veganer or, in more compact contexts, Veganerinnen/Veganer. The choice often depends on audience, medium, and editorial guidelines.
