Our Language ImpactsHow We Think

For those who don't fall neatly into the male or female categories, these constant references to the binary male and female groupings can be alienating. Even for those who do identify as male or female, these constant reminders of gender may have an impact. Constantly dividing everyone into male and female categories may make us perceive men and women as more different than we really are.

Gender-neutral language is a generic term covering the use of non-sexist language, inclusive language or gender-fair language. The purpose of gender-neutral language is to avoid word hoices which may be interpreted as biased, discriminatory or demeaning by implying that one sex or social gender is the norm.

Becoming familiar with language that helps you to talk about this part of identity and society is a great way to care for yourself and be an ally to others. To communicate effectively, respectfully and inclusively, we need to be mindful of the language we use and hear.
