I.e. "ombud" and "ombudsman" are two different words, and you can not
"just" remove the ending "man" that part from meaning "male" also means
"human".
Andrea proposed ombuddy, but it's probably a bit too irreverant. What about
ombudsperson?
Please do not go down that path at all.
Once again, either "ombudsman" or a word not related to it.
"ombudsman" has in Swedish nothing to do with gender of the person
having that role, but if people do feel it has gender connotation, use a
completely different word.
Yes, we do have these discussions in Sweden as well...
