I still do it, but it's out of habit.

I'm trying to be more mindful, though.

Good for you TC, I recently started asking for peoples preferred pronouns as well along with asking their name, be the change you want to see in the world.

I've already been doing that for years by sleeping with men. You're welcome.

Lol

Funny jokes

As if people don't mean it to be gender neutral when they address a mixed group.

What did you guys really think people are just addressing the men when they say hey guys?

When I'm serving at the brewery I make a conscious effort to not use gendered language for people I'm not familiar with.

I usually greet people with something like "Hello my friends". It's fun to get goofy with it and use stuff like "Howdy there, pilgrims".

It's really not difficult.

I say "guys", "man", "bro", "dude" all the time and have no plans on stopping. It's gender neutral.

I say "y'all" and "all y'all" now. It's both neutral and friendly!

I think also this is a generational thing. My boss actually tried to pull me up on this recently because I referred to the clients as "guys" despite being a group of young women. As in "Ok guys, thanks for joining the meeting".

She might have had a point but then she said "in that situation please refer to them as ladies". Uh, no. Definitely not.
