Gender Neutral

Gender neutral describes language, spaces, clothing, products, or concepts that are not specific to a particular gender and can apply to anyone. Gender-neutral restrooms, also called all-gender or gender-inclusive restrooms, can be used by people of any gender. Gender-neutral language avoids assuming a person's gender, for example using the singular they, or words like firefighter and chairperson in place of gendered ones. The aim is to include everyone rather than default to a man-or-woman binary, which many workplaces, schools, and institutions have adopted as standard practice. Related terms include all-gender, gender-inclusive, and unisex. Gender neutral describes the language or space itself and is different from a personal gender identity such as agender or nonbinary.
