Is the word 'teacher' masculine

Answer 1

Teacher is translated "un professeur" (masc.) in French. But since the reforms introduced in the 1990s, you can now say "une professeur" (fem.) Some people even advocated that the French use "une professeure" with a final "e" when writing but that spelling never really caught on in mainstream society.

Answer 2

No, the word "teacher" is not inherently masculine. It is a gender-neutral term that can refer to individuals of any gender who are involved in educating others.
