Out here in the you guys zone making yall happen. 10 years and you guys will be nearly gone cause people get tired of having to ubsubltly tack on “and gals” or “gals and nonbinary pals”.

What?

I thought y’all was just a gender neutral term combining you and all.

How would it be wrong or offensive to refer to refer to trans person as “y’all”? Genuine question.

As a non-english speaker, I appreciate «Y’all» 'cause it always bug me the absence of a way to reference more than one individual in English.

What you mean «You» is used to reference both one person and a crowd? English is fuck up.

Y’all actually has gained particular traction in the north through the queer community. Most trans people I know use y’all even if their geographic location doesn’t indicate they should

How you fuckers doing, eh?

Second person never has a gender in English. Saying “you” should also be fine, or “thee” if you feel like getting your quaker on.

Special requests notwithstanding - the platinum rule here is just to accommodate whatever you reasonably can.

We are afraid to use common greetings now? How about we all refer to each other as “carbon units”?

There are pride buttons that say Y’all means all.

I have a VERY southern friend. He once said “y’all all”.

Am I the only one who actually looked for more pixels for this guy?

Anywho, here you go my guy:

Having exported myself from the deep South to Yankee land, “Y’all have a good one!” never fails to brighten the day of someone working a cash register.

In general, folks up here really like southern politeness. They think sugar wouldn’t melt in my mouth. I get stopped in stores to talk all the time. Pretty frequently, they just give me a discount. I thought Yankees were supposed to be rude, but they’re actually really nice in public.

Fwiw, second person is fine as long as there’s no misgendering… It’s like calling someone by their name

I’m from Maryland and I said “howdy” in New York and I got roasted by the CVS clerk for 2 full minutes. And then I said “do y’all have Tylenol” in hopes that she could point me in the direction. Another minute of her roasting me…
