WLINTA* as translation to English
Although the word is clearly originating from German, the English translation “WLINTA*” (women instead of Frauen) can be occasionally found. Its usage is still mostly in text originating from a German-speaking region. An example is the English description of the “Year of the women*” program of Schwules Museum which uses the word to describe the “members of the museum community and authors of their own representation within it”. As the word is used by GenderCC, an organization originating from Germany, its foreign branch in South Africa is also found to use it to describe the group attributed with a rejection of high-risk technologies and a hightened vulnerability to the effects of climate change. A notable (because no direct relation to German language is obvious) use is found in the Amsterdam-based squatting exclusive to “WLINTA* people” explained by their risk of getting assaulted. Unfortunately this is the best summary I can make from the few search results I got, without any source that actually discusses the word and its translation. -- Yuwash (talk) 00:07, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
