Re: clitoris

This is Politically Correct, and is in line with historical trends
in Lojban/Loglan. I vote yes. But you're right, it will be hard to
write the dictionary entry in English or any natural language.
An aside: we often say that Chinese (Mandarin) has a gender-neutral 3rd
person pronoun. Well, sort of. According to my wife, a native
speaker, the spoken form is gender-neutral but the written form has an
explicit male/female modifier included in the character, according to
the sex of the referent!
