Thank you Tobias.

Yes, it would prevent such discussions.  But as lfvega says and as is
generally acknowledged, there is no good solution on how to deal with
gender here.

I can’t really judge but don’t believe their and Ludo’s proposal “les
usuaries” is really perceived neutral and acceptable.  (To Spanish
speakers: What do psychologists say?  Does it appear feminine to you?)

In Germanic (and Slavic?) grammatically feminine is clearly derived from
the grammatically masculine form (Benutzerin from Benutzer), which may
be a different situation from Latin; maybe it is not.

Listing both is verbose and unnatural.

Regards,
Florian
