1 (855) 909-9038 , ext. 1There are two main models of grammar in use: gender-neutral, which refers to no specific gender, and inclusive, which aims to represent all genders. While neutral grammar can only be used to represent nonbinary person(s), inclusive grammar can represent a person of any gender or a group that includes individuals of different genders. Even if we mainly go by inclusive grammar rules—because they allow us to represent everyone—we prefer, for the sake of transparency and representation, to present both grammar models in this guide. However, the examples are written using only inclusive grammar so as not to further clutter the text.
This guide was greatly inspired by Le petit dico du français neutre/inclusif from the French blog La vie en Queer. We would like to thank the author for all their work.
