:{{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) | :{{ping|Otvm}} I get what you mean, but I think that "neutral" does not refer to a specific identity in this case.

:{{ping|NeoMahler}} In more traditional, English-speaking, western contexts, "neutral" often has the connotation of "for both male and female", maybe unintentionally. I think "inclusive" would make it clearer for cisgender people visiting the wiki. People usually use signs which have (sexist) symbols to mean "man" and "woman" together when they want to make a sign for a "gender neutral" bathroom, at least in the country I currently reside in. | :{{ping|NeoMahler}} In more traditional, English-speaking, western contexts, "neutral" often has the connotation of "for both male and female", maybe unintentionally.
