r-gendertext

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 <https://www.un.org/en/gender-inclusive-language/> and the European Parliament guidance on gender neutral language.
