[Ads-l] “Neutrality”

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

The Berkeley list of  non-gender-specific replacement words suggests:
Journeyman  - Journey

The website Writing Help Central has a long list of "Gender-Neutral
Equivalent Words" including the following:

journeyman  - experienced tradesperson

The website thesaurus.com lists the following clusters of synonyms:
https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/journeyman?s=t

artisan, craftsman, tradesman, worker

artisan, machinist, maker, manufacturer, master, mechanic, skilled
worker, smith, specialist, technician, wright

I think "journeyer" would fit although it would be necessary to add a new sense.
