In the light of a study of the difference between political actors and ordinary citizens as language users, and based on three moral arguments (consequence-based, recognition-based, and complicity-based), we propose that democratic representatives have an imperfect duty to use gender-fair-language in their public communication.In the case of members of the executive, such as ministries, prime ministries, and presidents, such an imperfect duty could also be justified on democratic grounds. Their choice of using a gender-unfair language, we argue, can cast doubts on the fundamental democratic commitment to respect the agency of all present and future citizens as potential participants in the law-making process.

在民主代表中使用性别公平语言的责任的理由

根据对政治行为者和作为语言使用者的普通公民之间差异的研究,并基于三种道德论证(基于结果、基于认可和基于同谋),我们提出民主代表有不完美的义务在公共交流中使用性别公平的语言。对于行政成员,例如各部委、总理和总统,这种不完美的职责也可以从民主的角度来证明是合理的。我们认为,他们选择使用性别不公平的语言,可能会让人对尊重所有现在和未来公民作为立法过程的潜在参与者的基本民主承诺产生怀疑。
