Duplicate of Is there a female equivalent of Z"l?
Mar 27, 2019 at 21:27 comment added b a @DonielF "Is zt"l -- זצ“ל, zatzal = zecher tzadik livracha "May the memory of this tzaddik be a blessing" -- ever used for tzadkaniyot, righteous females?" Is this not enough?
Mar 27, 2019 at 21:24 comment added DonielF @ba Because unless the question distinguishes why zt”l might be different than z”l, the reasonable assumption is that they’re identical. If the OP said, as you write, that there’s a difference between righteous males and righteous females (though not sure how that’s to be reflected in a Hebrew acronym), then I’d gladly rescind my close vote - that presents reason to assume that a complete answer to the z”l question won’t necessarily address the zt”l one.
Mar 27, 2019 at 21:18 comment added b a @DonielF Why do you need a "reason to assume"? It's a different question. Its assumptions are irrelevant. (Even so it seems quite clear from the question that the question is based on a dichotomy between righteous males/righteous females, so there's the reason to assume.)
Mar 27, 2019 at 21:14 comment added DonielF @ba I agree that there is a difference between z”l and zt”l, but I don’t see anything in this question to indicate that there should be any reason to assume that one might be used for women but not the other.
Mar 27, 2019 at 21:13 comment added b a @DonielF This question explicitly acknowledges the other and asks about ztl instead of zl

Mar 18, 2019 at 15:19 comment added Micha Berger "Zeikher tzadiq livrakhah" and "zeikher tzedeqes livrakhah" have the same initials. Similarly "za"l" or "z"l" -- works for "zikhrono livrakhah" or "zikhronah livrakhah".

Apr 19, 2016 at 19:20 comment added MTL SAH Is it? You might find a list where deceased men and women are part of a list, and if the men have ZTL and none of the women do, then that might make your question a little better. Finding something to make your question stronger will [*searches for good words, fails*] make your question stronger, in my opinion. That's all I meant to say.
Apr 19, 2016 at 19:09 comment added Double AA @SAH I don't know who "we" is, but if you want to see it just pick your closest deceased female ancestor and write down their name followed by זצ"ל. Now you see it.
Apr 19, 2016 at 19:08 comment added MTL @SAH המוציא מחבירו עליו הראיה. You're the one who asked the question, prove that it isn't used and we'll see.
Apr 19, 2016 at 19:05 comment added SAH @DoubleAA Thanks. But do we ever see it?

Apr 19, 2016 at 19:00 comment added SAH @Shokhet Nu, prove that it is; that would answer my question!
Apr 19, 2016 at 18:55 comment added SAH @Shokhet Nothing. But I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't.
Apr 19, 2016 at 18:54 comment added MTL I'm not sure I've seen it used, either, but I was never really paying attention. What makes you think that it's specifically not being used for women?
Apr 19, 2016 at 18:54 comment added SAH @Shokhet Well, fwiw, Z"L really often is used for females, whereas zt"l I'm not sure I've seen
