Note: The vocabulary above is presented in binary terms, but remember that you can always make these nouns inclusive by using “-e” at the end of a noun that is not gender neutral. For example, you can say “el fotógrafo,” “la fotógrafa,” and “le fotógrafe.” Additionally, some nouns are gender-neutral by form, and the gender is defined by the article. To make them inclusive, you can use “le” as in the following example: “el muralista,” “la muralista,” and “le muralista.”
