Thank you.
"le/la professeur" is the same.
However, if you are taking about a groups of artists or teachers, some of whom are male and some female, any adjective would be in the masculine plural form.
Thank you.
A missing mixed gender word for 'they' in French?
I was talking to a lady doctor many years ago and there was a leaflet with something about "ask your doctor if he will refer you to a specialist".
As we looked at it, we caught each others glance.
"Doctors are always male!" she said, and smiled.
We laughed.
I remember a famous cartoon from the era of The Great War.
A young woman, standing, is talking to an older woman, who is seated.
"I've been escorted home by an officer and a gentleman."
"Lovely dear, ask them in for a cup of tea."
