Interestingly, as the language has evolved, words like "actress" are falling out of favor. So there are times when non-gendered is preferred for the sake of equality.

    Drag agrees. Drag is spreading knowledge of male gendered words in order to counteract the myth that the normal versions of the words are gendered. If someone tells drag that "actor" is for men, drag points out the existence of "actsman". Actor is a gender neutral term and we need to use linguistics to make people realise it sooner.
