non-gendered
Not masculine/feminine marked
Non-gendered describes something not associated with or distinguished by gender.
A non-gendered bathroom serves all users regardless of sex.
Non-gendered language avoids masculine or feminine forms: firefighter rather than fireman, they rather than he or she.
The term overlaps with gender-neutral and ungendered.
