Neuter gender in modern and contemporary French

The neuter gender is a grammatical gender that existed in Latin and Old French, but no longer exists, apart from a few vestiges, in the Modern French language. Proposals to neutralise the language have been made, generally suggesting the creation of neologisms, to account for the perceived sexism of French and accommodate for non-binary people.
