Thank you for your help!
yes.
Yes, you are correct. The word "firefighter" is considered to be a bias-free term.
To determine which word is bias-free among the given options, it's important to consider whether the word is gender-neutral or if it implies a specific gender. In this case, "mailman," "spokesman," and "waitress" use gender-specific terms, implying that the role is limited to a particular gender. However, the word "firefighter" does not specify any gender and is therefore considered to be a more inclusive and bias-free term.
