Gender-inclusive pronouns
Referring to people or groups of people of varying gender using masculine pronouns (he, his and him) as a default is no longer recommended. Here are a few听alternative options to consider:
1. Replace gendered pronouns with gender-inclusive nouns
The use of "he/she" and similar constructions may unintentionally exclude individuals who don't refer to themselves using either pronoun. Consider replacing those pronouns with a gender-neutral noun to ensure that your content is听gender-inclusive.
Original sentence |
Rephrased |
|---|---|
|
He/she will be assigned to groups. |
The candidate听will be assigned to groups. |
|
She/he will receive a notification email upon registration. |
The registrant听will receive a notification email upon registration. |
2. Pluralize nouns and pronouns
If it works for your writing, use plural nouns and pronouns to remove听the need for gendered language.
Original sentence |
Rephrased |
|---|---|
|
Each participant must make requests using his/her own email account. |
Participants must make requests using their own email accounts. |
|
A researcher can request internal peer review from the Associate Dean of his/her Faculty. |
Researchers can request an internal peer review from the Associate Dean of their Faculty. |
3.听Use 鈥渢hey鈥� as a singular pronoun
The pronoun 鈥渢hey鈥� can also be used as a gender-neutral option for singular pronouns (e.g.,听鈥淐an you ask them if they can email me the resource?鈥�). Consider your audience carefully when determining whether this solution is appropriate.
