I’m all for proper pronouns, but this is just so much getting offended about the wrong thing. I call my wife “dude” – because I call everyone dude. I have since I was probably 13, so for around 37 years now. I’m not misgendering her. In the same way if I say “hey guys.” Hell, I think this girl would be VERY upset with my “‘sup, bitches” that I great my guy friends with.
Like I said, I don’t have a problem with pronouns and addressing people how they like individually, but I’m not going to address a crowd with “hello there, they, them, he, she, them, those, shim, and herm.”
uhh, Guy Fawkes tried to assassinate a king. that’s badass, and makes me want to use the word “guy” more.
also, I’d rather not give credence to edicts by media conglomerates
God, go away
