Gender is a spectrum. <\/h2>\n\n
To promote equity in society and the workplace, incorporate gender neutral language when possible or add different gender identities. Female refers to sex organs at birth, wherease gender (e.g., woman, man, non-binary) is an identity. <\/p>\n\n
Examples: <\/em><\/p>\n\n
Neonatal vitamins are needed during pregnancy. <\/em>(This is gender neutral)<\/p>\n\n
Pregnant women and people who are pregnant need neonatal vitamins. <\/em>(People who are pregnant includes transgendered men or non-binary people)<\/p>\n\n
If you are pregnant, take neonatal vitamins. <\/em>(This is also gender-neutral and a command)<\/p>\n\n
While females can become pregnant, not all people who are pregnant identify as women (e.g., transgendered men, or non-binary people).<\/p>\n\n
Be sensitive to the needs of individuals. For example, identify clients by their preferred pronouns and identities. <\/p>\n\n
