    I’ve noticed that “gay” is used as a more general term for members of the LGBTQ+ community, similar to how “guys” has a pretty common gender-neutral usage

    EDIT: tweaked the wording a bit

      “Guys” hasn’t actually been accepted as gender neutral for a number of years, due to its implicit anti-feminist bias (you’ll fit in if you act like us men).

      I struggle with not using it constantly, as it was the go-to gender neutral term for my generation.
