To write without revealing gender, use gender-neutral language and pronouns. For example, instead of 'he' or 'she', use 'they.' Avoid gender-specific terms like 'chairman,' opting for 'chairperson' instead. When describing actions, use the person's name or title rather than pronouns, e.g., 'the manager' instead of 'he or she.' This maintains clarity while ensuring inclusivity and anonymity.
