:{{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. --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 20:40, 5 November 2017 (UTC) | :{{ping|NeoMahler}} In more traditional, English-speaking, western contexts, "neutral" often has the connotation of "for both male and female", maybe unintentionally.

:: I agree with [[User:Otvm|Otvm]], but I don't see an easy replacement for this title. I think changing the title to "Nongendered language" would be false advertsing (but I think [[Nongendered language]] should exist as a separate article). [[Gender inclusive language]] would probably be better than the current one , even though agender people don't have a gender.

:::Thanks for clarifying. Maybe just ''Inclusive language''? An article with this title could include inclusive language for other things, but I think that the context of the article (Nonbinary wiki) makes it easy to understand that the article is about gender (or lack of thereof). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 13:46, 13 November 2017 (UTC) | |||
