That's a cool story, bro, but it gets the point across and is more common spread than you'd think. It's also functions as the plural you pronoun while being a separate word, like in romance languages.

Masure recommends embracing simple changes. Even something seemingly small like saying "hey, everyone" instead of "hey, guys" when you enter a meeting can help make non-binary employees feel less "other." "Changing the vocabulary is something that is easy, compared to changing society," Masure says. "When you start using real, gender-neutral terms, you prompt society to change over time. So 'hey guys' is powerful. You might misgender someone who is masculine-presenting, who's non-binary." Welp. It's getting complicated. So women can be guys, but non-binary people can't? Fuck this.

One person actually went around correcting people's pronoun usage and even made a big fuss about it to management. Now people are afraid to talk to each other. It fucking sucks Political correctness gone mad. I mean I'd quit.

Metro2 08/13/18 4:06:25 PM #92:	I'm not a big fan of the word "guys" but for different reasons. "Guys" implies a casual bondness or friendship in the sense that you and the other speaker are on buddy-buddy terms with each other. But if a stranger calls me a "guy," it feels disingenuous. Such as a Youtuber speaking to an audience and say "What's up guys" What do you mean "what's up". You know I'm not going to reply to you and you read about my day, so why talk to me in a language that implies we're friends? I'm not your "guy" "Hi everyone" honestly sounds more genuine and flexible. <cite>Metro2 posted [p:906815008] in You're not...
