I’m only 1/16 qualified to declare this, but I propose the gender neutral equivalent of ‘lad’ or ‘lass’ to be ‘lan’

Crazy that in the span of 12 hours, a guy’s Wikipedia article goes from 6 sentences to having 13 whole sections, and his brother goes from some guy in the Chicago suburbs to being the brother of the most powerful religious figure in the world
