Why not just use the generic plural form (Bürger) as people always have? It has always been used for mixed groups so why shouldnt it continue to? And sometimes it doesnt even work (eg. for "Bauer". The plurals would be "Bauern" and "Bäuerinnen".

The problem people have with the Generischer Maskulinum is, that it is exactly that, the male plural form.

Grammatical genus is not the same as biological gender. Or do people that are biologically neither male nor female need a third plural form?

That would be another advantage if we had a form that clearly eliminates the gender.
