A gender inclusive language

in some cases language can be used to exclude
certain people or reproduce negative biases towards
others. Research from Stanford University shows
how certain words in everyday language are used,
even if they seem relatively harmless, can
perpetuate gender stereotypes. For example, the
statement "girls are as good as boys at math" implies
that being good at math is more common and natural
for boys.
The movement towards a gender inclusive language was
launched with a specific focus on eliminating and avoiding
sexist social constructions. The Government of Chile's
Gender Inclusive Language Guide agrees that "language is
not sexist in itself, its use is" and seeks to promote the
conscious choice of words avoiding the use of the
masculine form by default for the description of people in
general. For example, the guide suggests using phrases
like “the target population” instead of “the beneficiaries”
and “the experts” instead of just “the experts”.

But inclusive language is not limited to people who consider

themselves part of the male and female binary. For certain
people part of the LGBTQ + community, such as transgender
people, who do not identify with the sex assigned at birth, or
people with non-binary identities who do not want to identify
themselves as either male or female, language is key to their
coexistence manual self-identification and their inclusion in society. These people
may decide to express their identity through the feminine or
masculine grammatical gender, while others are not
non-binary gender comfortable with these constructions and may choose other
ways of expressing themselves.

Implementation of Language is powerful, dynamic, and

 Use gender-neutral defines the way we see the world. The
words inclusive language importance of inclusive words we use to communicate are the
in the coexistence language basis for our connection with others, with
our environment, and with our own
manual identity. Identifying ourselves on our own
terms and being recognized with inclusive
words is part of the democratization of
language and the pride of being who we
are.
