degendered
Made without sex
Degendered describes something from which gender distinctions have been removed.
A degendered bathroom serves all genders.
Degendered language avoids gendered terms—using "firefighter" instead of "fireman," or singular "they" instead of "he or she." The word appears in discussions of inclusive policy and gender-neutral design: The forms were degendered to accommodate nonbinary applicants.
