In this paper the basic principles governing the expression of grammatical gender in Spanish are analysed, with the focus on the formal resources used for the expression of inclusive, or unmarked, gender. Alternatives to the use of inclusive gender (both visibility enhancing and concealing strategies) are considered, and their interpretative and cognitive implications are discussed in detail. The conclusion is that languages have their way to adjust to social needs. Linguistic change must respect the ecology of the system and the pace of spontaneous evolution, without external pressures and impositions. Speakers are the only legitimate owners of a language.
