Exactly avocados being bad for the environment doesnt have anything to do with having the right to steal them.

He donated money before having founded his charity.

Bill Gates. (Has donated money to charity and founded one himself).

Thats not proven. Its still highly disputed between scientists

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

"Die" is always the plural article:

DAS Auto - DIE Autos / DER Baum - DIE Bäume / DIE Fliege - DIE Fliegen /

Because we already had a word for "computer" (literally: calculator) which had the male article so when we started using the English word "computer" we kept the article :)

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".

Its certainly a source if the quote came from there.

When youre going on a highway/motorway you dont seitch gears at all so wouldnt it be the same?

That is still the case. (Except for that one option where you drive a manual AND an automatic car and then do your test in an automatic)...

Im from Germany. Im almost done with my license and I feel rather comfortable driving with a manual transmission.

Keep in mind that here in Germany, some people study months for the theory test and driving lessons are driven with an instructor and are mandatory (including things like driving at night/on the highway/on country roads etc.)
