Gendered language is language that is used to refer to people of a particular gender, to describe the roles and relationships of men and women, and to express the emotions and experiences of people of a particular gender.

Examples of gendered language include he and she, Mr. and Mrs., king and queen, and many other words and phrases that are used to refer to people of a particular gender.

Gendered language can make people feel excluded or marginalized, it can reinforce gender stereotypes, and it can lead to discrimination.
