Beyond grammar: inclusive language as a requirement of human rights

Abstract

Despite the fact that the moral authorities of language, for example what happens with English and Spanish, still do not recognize inclusive language because they consider it unnecessary and incorrect, it is essential to recognize the need for its existence beyond gender binary, this in order to make visible, respect and promote the well-being of people who do not conform to a heteronormed cisgender model. In this article, it is explained that the need to adopt said language is based on human rights standards. It is concluded that the use of an inclusive and non-binary language is part of our right to identity, to live a full and healthy life and of expression.
