  • Summary

  • For people who do not identify as exclusively male or female, gendered language can be as insulting as a racial slur. It can cut deep because it infers that there are only two options for gender and that anything else is invisible and unimportant. 

    In this episode, Kristy shares examples of gendered language she experienced while piloting her programs in several schools. She also offers simple phrase substitutions for archaic ways of addressing groups of children such as 'boys and 'girls' and 'ladies and gentlemen.'

    From "Gendered Language: Psychological Principles, Evolving Practices, and Inclusive Policies:

    "Gendered language contributes to gender biases by making gender salient, treating gender as a binary category and causing stereotypic views of gender."
