Gender Fair Language
Gender fair language, also known as gender-neutral language, is a
linguistic practice that aims to reduce gender bias and enhance
inclusivity by avoiding gender-specific terms or stereotypes. It is a
crucial aspect of communication that recognizes and values the
diversity of gender identities and expressions. Employing gender fair
language is vital for establishing an inclusive and inviting atmosphere
in both written and verbal communication.
