    I started using y’all years ago due to its ungenderedness, in part from being in queer spaces. Walking into a room of trans women and enbies and saying “you guys” felt weird.

      Being enby, you guys feels weird when I’m included in it.

        Being female, yes.

        But I do delight in the awkwardness when they’re called on it and try to backtrack and blush all the way down to their male genitalia.

            I guess some people are totally ok with exclusionary language and don’t care about the people they affect with it. Carry on.

              I know many female coworkers who also say guys in a genderless fashion, it’s your choice to get upset about something so benign though.
