gender inclusivity

Beyond the binary

Gender inclusivity is the practice of accommodating people of all gender identities rather than assuming a male-female binary.

It appears in discussions of language, policy, and institutional design: The company updated its forms for greater gender inclusivity.

Gender-inclusive language uses neutral terms like "they" or "firefighter" instead of gendered defaults.
