Gender neutrality in languages with grammatical gender

Gender neutrality in languages with grammatical gender means that words are chosen without considering whether the person being described is male or female. In English, for example, there are no gender-specific nouns, so you could say "the quarterback is tall" without having to choose between calling them him or her. In languages with grammatical gender, however, the nouns for people and things are divided into male and female forms. For example, in French, the word for a feminine teacher is "professeure", and the word for a masculine teacher is "professeur". If a person wants to be gender neutral, they would have to use both forms of the word when talking about teachers in general - either "les professeurs et les professeures" or "les professeurs et les professeurs".
