 Gender-neutral language is also important to many people who have [[Nonbinary gender|nonbinary gender identities]]. For one reason, this kind of talk helps fight against [[nonbinary erasure]], which is the common but wrong and sexist idea that there are only two genders. Since gender-neutral language doesn't give the idea that a person is male or female, it can also apply to people who identify as other genders, outside of the [[Gender binary|gender binary]]. Nonbinary people can ask to be talked about in this way.
-'''Some gender-neutral terms''' to use include:
-Child instead of son or daughter
-Spouse instead of husband or wife
-Partner instead of girlfriend or boyfriend
-Sibling instead of brother or sister
-Mx instead of Mr or Ms
-People instead of men or women (usually as a suffix; e.g. congressperson instead of congressman)
-Parent instead of mother or father
-Betrothed instead of fiance or fiancee
-And more!
