The "default" version implicitly implies the the "male" variant. I know we are already taking a lot of different aspects into account, so I want to bring to attention this implicit association/unconscious bias that we may be having when choosing some of these words.
That's a good point. Do you happen to have any suggestions on how to deal with this issue? I know a little bit of Spanish and am familiar with gendered nouns there. I don't have any idea how people are addressing bias in these languages.
