  • I speak Italian, which works similarly to French. The male form is called the “non-marked” form, while the female is “marked”. So, the real inclusive form would be to just use the male form.

    It’s because both Italian and French come from Latin. Latin used to have three forms: male, female and neutral. The neutral and male form were very similar, so during the evolution from Latin to modern languages, the two forms collapsed into one.


  • Same in Italian.

    Italian is heavily gendered, even inanimate objects have genders. A chair? It’s a female. A door? It’s a male.

    It’s not easy to modify a language; some people on the internet are trying using stars and other non-letters, but the result is ridiculous and nobody actually speaks like that in real life.
