A search of Wikipedia for "spox" turns up Spokesperson, which is already "gender neutral", but is unsatisfactorily polysyllabic.

This mindset is typified by a line from the movie "Amadeus". Disturbed by the complexity and subtlety of Mozart's music, the Emperor Joseph II (so ably played by Jeffrey Jones) comments "Too many notes." It's an example of the postmodern modification of language that erases etymology and other historical connections.
