I’m from Australia and I’ve started calling all groups of people yall because it’s gender neutral… very unaustralian term, and I love so much the irony of iconic southern terms being used to support trans activism

Why bother with importing y'all when we already have yous (or youse depending on how you want to spell it)? Or you could just treat 'you guys' as gender neutral, it effectively is these days with how people use it.

As an Australian, why bother importing "y'all" when everyone is already "mate"?

I was going to say something similar, but thinking everyone is "cunt".

Yes, it's gender neutral.

Too right, mate.
