minus-squareipkpjersi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down4·edit-22 days ago As for “y’all” or “you all”, I don’t see how it could possibly be interpreted as offensive to any gender. I think “we don’t take kindly to y’all” to a trans person would likely be offensive. Beyond that though, you’re probably okay.

minus-squareipkpjersi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·14 hours agoI might as well double down while I’m here, “we don’t take kindly” was too aggressive wording. I meant something more neutral like “I think y’all are weird”. That way, the y’all is the problematic part. That was my point.
