   @ryanhoulihan I've done this. With "guys", too. When "fucked" was too harsh for the context, I used "kissed" and "dated".

   They always look they just got a cluebat smack.

     @ryanhoulihan Similarly, to say a girl is "one of the guys" implies she fits in with an otherwise-male group.

     @ryanhoulihan counterpoint: I am a non-binary person who much prefers dude or guys to them. Them reminds me of the people who used to call me “it” as a diss. I guess intent matters.

     @ryanhoulihan what would be a true gender neutral alternative? I was gonna say awesome motherfuckers, but maybe that’s gendered, too

     Just don’t call me it or thing or them. Reminds me of bullying assholes. Honestly, I’m good with person/people since I don’t do gender

     @ryanhoulihan As a man who hasn't fucked dudes, I laughed long and loud at that. I think I could have been persuaded that is was gender neutral, but this I'll remember.

     @ryanhoulihan I lost count around 180. My late teens and early 20s were an interesting time. Turns out I'm straight. Lol.

     @ryanhoulihan, good point. The gender-neutral term I tend to use most often is "Earthling". I also use "human", but pronounced like "hyoomann", as though it were being said by a Ferengi.

     some might see it neutral, as long oneself won't be "too neutralized" by the same word if it be about partners &it be about straight or hetero...

     as if in clichees, one be mono than polyarmor 'n "dude" sounding very different, even seconds ago, it WAS not meant for guys nor men somehow

     #logic #stereotype #stereotypes #pronouns do matter also if it be "folks" or "everybody here"?

     maybe "partner" specifies differences more in german too...
