Under heading for Gender and sexuality, where we say: “We make content gender neutral wherever possible”, please add: "Only mention sex, gender or sexuality if relevant. Avoid gender markers, such as Mr, Miss, Mrs, Ms."
Also, add an H3 heading “Gender neutral language” above: “We do not label people with their gender identity or sexuality”.
