Hey all y'all need to stop using "guys" in mixed company.

- My trans girlfriend is not a guy.
- My cis girlfriend is not a guy.
- I'm not a guy (or a girl, but that's not relevant here).

Misgendering is misgenderingβ€”even if "everyone's doing it".

Patriarchy shouldn't be the default.

@alice I personally really like "folks" as an alternative. Lots of good options!
@xgranade @alice Mmm, folx/folks is my preferred one these days, though my circle of friends has always seen "guys" as all-inclusive, both in user and usee(? πŸ€”) senses.

That's just the lifetime of patriarchal oppression talking.
