Abstract

This article examines how gender-related language has evolved from ancient times to the modern era. The terminology surrounding gender has changed dramatically, influenced by evolving social structures, cultural practices, and scientific advances. In early civilizations, people primarily used binary language that reinforced traditional gender roles, heavily influenced by religious beliefs and social hierarchies. As time progressed, movements that advocated for gender equality led to the development of more inclusive language, fostering terminology that acknowledges gender as a spectrum instead of a strictly binary concept. This transformation not only signifies changing views on gender identity but also reflects a larger societal movement towards inclusivity. The article focuses on significant milestones in the development of gender terminology, discussing historical influences, social movements, and the current trend towards genderneutral language. Ultimately, this study highlights the role of language in both reflecting and driving social progress, providing insights into how evolving terminology can promote a more inclusive understanding of human identity.
