Gender Neutral Language

Enter an answer into the box to make the word(s) applicable to anyone, regardless of gender.

This quiz is NOT comprehensive and is meant for entertainment purposes only. No need for anyone's head to explode. It's ok if you don't agree.

It is simply meant to reflect how the English language has changed to include people who have historically been excluded from certain words and expressions.

I hope you enjoy the quiz.
