This may be an ill-defined question since it arose from trying to pluralise a word that has come from French, I wanted to pluralise a pair flaneurs of different genders.
Flaneur comes from the French flâneur, which has the French feminine form flâneuse and plural flâneuses.
When pluralising in English, should I ignore gender, use one over the other or use the french pluralisation?
Is there an English rule for mixed gender noun pluralisations?
Only a pair of flaneuses is a pair of flaneuses. A pair of flaneurs is a pair of flaneurs. That includes flaneurs of different genders. If you want to emphasize that it's a flaneur and a flaneuse, or more generally X flaneurs and Y flaneuses, you would have to say just that, "X flaneurs and Y flaneuses".
And to the best of my knowledge, none of this is any different from what you'd do in French.
