Gender neutral language in Dutch: Difference between revisions
→Siblings and related family: Removed strikethroughs and clarified the terms status as "nonstandard". Many of the words on this page are not established words in the Dutch languages and are not supposed to be seen that way either. But they are supposed to be accessible alternatives for those who want/need them, whether they already exist in the Dutch language or if they are newly thought up alternatives.
m (As a native dutch speaker ive crossed out some of the words that are wrong, not dutch (english words have been put in the dutch list too), or outright dont exist in any form.) |
