I feel like saying "gender neutral" language unintentionally promotes the gender binary, since there are many genders which are certainly not "neutral". Inclusive is a much better term, since "neutral", in my mind, seems slightly exclusive, saying that 1. Nonbinary people cannot use "he" and "she" (which sometimes happens), and 2. somehow nonbinary people are "other". I know this is a wonderful thing to see on a form, but it seems exclusive at the same time. --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 17:19, 5 November 2017 (UTC) | I feel like saying "gender neutral" language unintentionally promotes the gender binary, since there are many genders which are certainly not "neutral".

:{{ping|Otvm}} I get what you mean, but I think that "neutral" does not refer to a specific identity in this case. I guess it's used as "regardless of gender". I'm not native English though, so feel free to suggest a better title! :) --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 20:26, 5 November 2017 (UTC) | |||
