Gendered terms have been shown to be exclusive

..in certain contexts, where maximum inclusivity is the actual goal, if not the law.

Why is maximum inclusivity the goal here, again? Why must it be?

My earlier assessment appears to be correct. No person can be pointed to that actually feels excluded by this, and so all this sturm und drang is about hypothetical straw people.

This conversation is no longer interesting.

No, you just ignored the studies showing that this is excluding people.

BTW, tokenization is also discriminatory: https://www.forbes.com/sites/amanialkhat/2016/02/29/amani-al...
