How do I avoid discriminatory language when describing a person's physical appearance, such as using words like "beautiful" or "lovely" which can be seen as objectifying?

It is important to avoid using language that objectifies or judges a person's physical appearance. Instead of words like "beautiful" or "lovely", try using descriptions such as "kind", "gentle", or “distinguished”. It is also important to remember to use gender-neutral language when referring to someone's appearance, such as using terms like “they” and “them”.

It is important to avoid descriptive language which can be seen as discriminatory when writing about or speaking of someone's physical appearance. Instead of terms such as ‘beautiful’ or ‘lovely’, an alternative would be to say something like ‘they had a complexion fair and clear’, or give a more detailed physical description without inserting personal opinion.
