Words have gender in language for various reasons, including historical origins, cultural influences, and grammatical rules. Gender in language helps to classify nouns and establish agreement between words in a sentence.
We can express gender values in language by using inclusive and non-discriminatory terms, avoiding gender stereotypes, and recognizing and respecting individual gender identities. It is important to use language that is sensitive to the diversity of gender expressions and to constantly reflect on the impact our words may have on others.
An example of gender neutral language is using "they/them" pronouns instead of assuming someone's gender with "he/his" or "she/her." This helps to be inclusive of individuals who may not identify within the traditional gender binary.
Gender in language refers to word endings. There are words that are considered masculine and words that are considered feminine. It has nothing to do with human gender or even who wears or uses an item, but with the gender of the words. Then there are the connecting words that have two different gender forms, and these generally must agree with the gender of the other words used. In Spanish, the masculine form of "the" is "el" as in "el chico" (the boy) or "el gato" (the cat). The feminine form is "la," as in "la chica" (the girl).
Gender neutral terms allows speakers and writers to avid gender-biased language. Avoid works that are gender specific and replace them with neutral words. For example, instead of police man, say police officer.
Languages assign gender to words for various reasons, including grammatical structure, historical development, and cultural conventions. Gender in language helps to organize and classify words, making it easier to understand relationships between different elements of a sentence. It can also reflect societal norms and values, as well as the influence of historical factors on language evolution.

English can be considered a sexist language because it has words and structures that can reinforce gender stereotypes and inequalities. This includes the use of gender-specific job titles (e.g. "stewardess" vs. "flight attendant") or the default use of masculine pronouns when the gender of a person is unknown. Efforts are being made to create gender-neutral language alternatives to address these issues.

The gender of nouns in a language is a set of two or more categories that determine agreement with modifiers. Grammatical gender has nothing to do with physical gender, but is entirely a matter of form. Where there is no need for agreement, as in Modern English, there is no grammatical gender. In English grammar words generally do not have a gender unless specifically referred to in phrases such as "Those are his jeans". However the gender is not transferred to the noun it is merely a description. In other languages they can be and are assigned.
