Biography

Lann Hornscheidt (born 1965 in Velbert, West Germany) is a German academic active in the fields of gender studies and linguistics. Hornscheidt is non-binary.

Academic career

Lann Hornscheidt obtained a PhD degree at the University of Kiel. From 2007 to 2016, Hornscheidt was professor for Gender Studies and Language Analysis at the Centre for Transdisciplinary Gender Studies at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Hornscheidt has had visiting professorships and periods of research at the universities of Örebro, Lund, Turku, Uppsala, Graz, Innsbruck and Södertörn (Stockholm). Hornscheidt received the habilitation in Scandinavian Linguistics at the Humboldt University of Berlin in 2004 with a habilitation thesis on linguistic designation of persons from a constructivist point of view in modern Swedish.

Controversy

Hornscheidt has created controversy and prompted hateful comments on social media by asking to be addressed in a gender-neutral way, e.g. with the title "Professx" (instead of "Professor", which is male, or "Professorin", which is female). In 2020, Hornscheidt lodged an appeal to the German Federal Constitutional Court after having been told by the Federal Court of Justice that it was not possible to remove the gender marker from Hornscheidt's birth registration entry without a process under a law called Transsexuellengesetz requiring two psychological expert opinions.
