The question asked how easy it would be to automatically alternate masculine and feminine pronouns. A couple of almost identical solutions were proposed by Martin Scharrer and someone named Josef. It became clear to me that the simple solution really wasn't enough, since you don't want to switch pronouns all the time, but also require anaphora to an existing switched pronoun. This package is the result of that discussion. \section{Background} -If you are trying to write truly gender-neutral text, then in generic constructs like (\ref{1}) prescriptively require you to use either the masculine pronoun (\ref{he}) (which today sounds very stuffy) or the somewhat awful-looking \emph{he or she} (\ref{heshe}) or even worse \emph{s/he} (\ref{she}). With any luck the use of the gender neutral \emph{they} (as in (\ref{they1})) will become more acceptable to editors, but until then, people who don't like either of the first two options are stuck. +If you are trying to write truly gender-neutral text, then generic constructs like (\ref{1}) prescriptively require you to use either the masculine pronoun (\ref{he}) (which today sounds very stuffy) or the somewhat awful-looking \emph{he or she} (\ref{heshe}) or even worse \emph{s/he} (\ref{she}). Or you can try to reverse the male-only trend and use only the feminine pronoun as a replacement for (\ref{he}), as in (\ref{she-only}). With any luck the use of the gender neutral \emph{they} (as in (\ref{they1})) will become more acceptable to editors, but until then, people who don't like either of the other options are stuck. \begin{exe} \ex\label{1} @@ -76,6 +76,7 @@ If you are trying to write truly gender-neutral text, then in generic constructs \ex When a student registers, he receives an ID card.\label{he} \ex When a student registers, he or she receives an ID card.\label{heshe} \ex When a student registers, s/he receives an ID card.\label{she} +\ex When a student register, she receives an ID card.\label{she-only} \ex When a student registers, they receive an ID card.\label{they1} \end{xlist} \end{exe} @@ -130,8 +131,8 @@ To see why two systems are needed, consider the following continuation of the ex \begin{exe} \ex\label{2} \begin{xlist} -\ex \hefalse When a student registers, \heshe receives an ID card. \Heshe also must go to the advising office so that an advisor can can verify \hisher schedule with \himher.\label{switched} -\ex When a student registers, \heshe receives an ID card. \He also must go to the advising office so that an advisor can can verify \his schedule with \him.\label{anaphoric} +\ex \hefalse When a student registers, \heshe receives an ID card. \Heshe also must go to the advising office so that an advisor can verify \hisher schedule with \himher.\label{switched} +\ex When a student registers, \heshe receives an ID card. \He also must go to the advising office so that an advisor can verify \his schedule with \him.\label{anaphoric} \end{xlist} \end{exe} @@ -142,13 +143,13 @@ Using the package, the code that produces the two examples in (\ref{2}) is given \begin{xlist} \ex \begin{lstlisting} -When a student registers, \heshe receives an ID card. \Heshe also must go to the advising office so that an advisor can can verify \hisher schedule with \himher. +When a student registers, \heshe receives an ID card. \Heshe also must go to the advising office so that an advisor can verify \hisher schedule with \himher. \end{lstlisting} \sn \vskip-2em \ex \begin{lstlisting} -When a student registers, \heshe receives an ID card. \He also must go to the advising office so that an advisor can can verify \his schedule with \him. +When a student registers, \heshe receives an ID card. \He also must go to the advising office so that an advisor can verify \his schedule with \him. \end{lstlisting} \end{xlist} \end{exe} diff --git a/Master/tlpkg/bin/tlpkginfo b/Master/tlpkg/bin/tlpkginfo index 5dbf4aab9b9..551ed3aef44 100755 --- a/Master/tlpkg/bin/tlpkginfo +++ b/Master/tlpkg/bin/tlpkginfo @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ sub main { # erroneous or problematic tds files (when new, tell RobinF and author) $erroneous_tds = join ("|", - qw(engpron imtekda spanish thailatex titleps), + qw(engpron he-she imtekda spanish thailatex titleps), ); # Heiko's tds files (don't propagate through CTAN fast enough). |
