Stop Americanizing languages. Like so many other languages, like Spanish, German is a gendered language. Deal with it.
“Are you a Germxn?”
“A what?”
Germxn is wrong. It’s incorrect. It’s not even a word that exists within the German language. If you do not believe me, learn the damn language.

Germxn is just wrong. The correct term is “German”. Why? Because Germans said so. Because the German language said so.

What some woke people think you should use instead of German because the latter word contains "man", despite that having nothing to do with gender. The same types of people usually think "German" is offensive because of the above reason, and that "Gerwoman" is a real word.
Similar efforts, though legitimate ones, are also used with languages with actual grammatical gender, ironically including German itself.

Person A: (makes some joke about Germans)
Woke person A: "Classic germxns"
Person A: "What does 'Germxns' mean?"
Woke person A: "It's a gender neutral version of 'German'."
Person A: "You're screwing with me right"
Woke person B: "No they're not"
Person B: "Ah, because Gerwoman is a word."
Woke person A: "Yes it is. Both of them are gendered language."
Woke person B: "Please just use Germxn, it's not hard."
Hilarity ensues.
