What is a non sexist term for Englishman?

There's no single perfect non-sexist equivalent for "Englishman" that covers all situations.

Here are some options depending on the context:

Formal:

* English citizen: This is the most neutral option, emphasizing nationality.

* English national: Similar to "citizen," but slightly more formal.

* English person: This is inclusive of all genders and avoids the gendered "man."

Informal:

* English (as an adjective): "She is English."

* Brit: This is a common informal term for a person from Britain, but may not always be specific to England.

More specific:

* English man/woman: This is sometimes used when you need to specify gender but want to avoid "Englishman."

The best choice depends on the specific context and your desired level of formality.
