Cultural weight of gendered adjectives

Agustina M.A1Kwiziq community member

Hi! This is not a question regarding grammar but more of a cultural question. In many languages, the changes of the social understanding of gender has also changed the way we use grammar. In English, we don't use gendered adjectives, but it's common now to use gender neutral pronouns such as they/them, in Spanish we use the letter -e instead of -o or -a to make adjectives gender neutral. Is there anything similar in french?

This question relates to:French lesson "Adjectives ending in -eux become -euse in the feminine in French"
