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 misgendering—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 I also hate “hi ladies” with a passion even as a cis woman in a group of cis women.
“Hi folks” or “hi everyone” or just “hi” would be great.

@stephaniepixie @xgranade @alice Too easy to confuse with "High Ladies" which in turn could be royalty or women who use The Spice to fold space and time
