What is your opinion of using the term "guys" when referring to a mixed sex crowd? Is it offensive? NSDetector_Guy 2 months ago by NSDetector_Guy I don't personally find it offensive, it's fairly standard isn't it? Reply I say "you guys" to any group of people Reply Eh, the isn't much casual word to refer to a group of people, so it works Reply Theydies and gentlefolk Reply I don't think so, but I know some people who do. In a pinch, 'everypony' is gender-neutral. Reply But not species neutral. Reply Eh I don't care but I prefer they just call everyone dudes. Reply We're all dudes Reply I asked a fairly sensitive mixed cis group and they said they were happy about it. But I later got called out by some trans friends. So best avoided. Reply Oh my god lmao Reply If you choose to be offended when no offense was intended then that is on you Reply Not being a native speaker I always say people and also get confused if others use "guy's" in this context Reply depends on the crowd tbh Reply Not at all, I often do it (as a woman) when there are no actual guys there.
