men and women
All grown humans
Men and women refers to adult humans of both sexes, often used to emphasize inclusivity or the full range of people: men and women of all backgrounds, the men and women who serve in our armed forces.
The phrase can sound formal or ceremonial.
In contemporary usage, some prefer people or everyone as more inclusive of those who don't identify within the binary.
