In German, “das Mädchen” (the girl) is neutral. Not bevause all girl are secretly enbies or equivalent to possesions, but the diminuitive “-chen” turns things neutral.

There's actually a somewhat tongue-in-cheek proposal to solve the "Doctor/Doctress" problem by turning absolutely everything diminutive. Das Präsidentchen, das Bundeskanzlerchen, etc.

there are soooo many proposals, but thats actually one i like. of course, it would render the entire diminuitive meaningless, buuuut its cute uwu
