aceptadasaceptados

aceptadasaceptados is a neologism that appears in discussions about gender-inclusive writing in Spanish. It concatenates the feminine plural form aceptadas and the masculine plural form aceptados into a single token, used to signal the inclusion of both gender groups within a given category. The term is not part of standard orthography and lacks official recognition by major linguistic authorities; instead, it shows up in sociolinguistic commentary, feminist discourse, and online discussions as a shorthand in debates about how to refer to mixed or diverse gender populations in Spanish.

In practice, its use is experimental and contested. Proponents argue that it makes gender parity visible in language that is typically gender-marked, while critics contend that such concatenation can hinder readability, cause confusion, and undermine consistency with established style guidelines. Most formal style guides advise alternative approaches, such as writing using inclusive phrases (aceptadas y aceptados), repeating the noun with both endings, or employing neutral or gender-fair constructions. The term acelera debates about language policy, inclusivity, and the balance between clarity and representation. Today, aceptadasaceptados tends to appear mainly in academic discussions, feminist linguistics, and some digital or institutional texts that experiment with inclusive language, rather than in everyday formal writing.
