Par exemple, en écrivant Madame la Maire ou la professeure et en féminisant les noms de métiers.

On peut alors écrire les hommes et les femmes présentes, surtout s'il n'y a qu'un homme dans la pièce.
One can then write that men and women are "présentes" (with the mark of the feminine plural) especially if there is only one man in the room.
