[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to admit it... I wasn't up to date on the non-binary culture until recently when my daughter's classmate came over to work on a project and beforehand my daughter said, "mom, just so you know, Alex is non-binary."  I had to do some quick Googling even after she explained it to me and really think about what I was going to say before I said anything out loud.  I did slip once with "do you guys need a snack?" and I got the Teen Eyeroll of Doom from my kid.

But now that I've learned about non-binary, I do see it more and more around me.  During a college visit, many of the kids introducing themselves in the small tour group started with, "I'm Jane, I go by she/her" and "I'm Paul, they/them, please."  [/quote]

But wait? I would refer to a group of boys or girls as "you guys". I thought that term was pretty gender neutral seeing as people don't use it to only refer to a group of men like they would with the word "gentlemen" for example. [/quote]

Oh, my dear PP. How silly, how 2000's of you. Haven't you heard? These precious little snowflakes are [i]offended[/i] by language such as this. You "guys?"  That horrible woman might as well have said "you horses."[/quote]
