For written Polish, it is possible to combine the masculine and feminine forms of a noun, with a space in between the endings to acknowledge other genders. For example instead of the masculine "aktorzy" or the feminine "aktorki", one could write "aktorki_rzy".<ref name="123t_Gend">{{Cite web |title=Gender. Płeć w języku.

Words can be de-gendered by using an -ę ending such as "autorzę" (instead of masc "autor" or fem "autorka") but this is not ideal because the -ę ending is considered diminutive and thus can be seen as infantilizing nonbinary people.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Neutratywy: czemu nie końcówka -ę? |author=@andrea |work=zaimki.pl |date=22 February 2022 |access-date=12 October 2022 |url= https://zaimki.pl/blog/neutratywy-zdrobnienia |language=pl}}</ref> | |||
