Do we think saying “you guys” is bad/not inclusive, I’m trans and queer and I honestly see it as a gender neutral phrase but I’m curious about other’s opinions

“You guys” is fine and gender neutral, but if someone says to not use it for them personally, listen.

You guys is a way to get everyone’s attention at once it’s never being used to identify a man/woman/nb etc

Guy/guys, dude, and bro are all gender neutral terms. We revoked their gender. Get naturalized losers
