Description: Identifies gendered words and phrases in text using a
built in dictionary of more than two hundred gendered terms
paired with gender neutral alternatives. Reports the share of
gendered language in a text, lists every gendered term found
together with its suggested neutral replacement, and can
rewrite a text in gender neutral form. Plain text files are
read with base R, while other document formats such as PDF and
Word are supported through the optional 'readtext' package. The
dictionary is informed by published guidance on gender
inclusive language, including the United Nations guidelines
and the
European Parliament guidance on gender neutral language.
