There's a problem with "you"?
It's just not one of My preferred pronouns
As a trans ally, your post was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. As I have never heard someone complain about "you" before, I provided the opportunity to explain why it might be problematic. If you were sincere and not using this as a method to mock trans people you would have taken the opportunity to explain why "you" is problematic. Instead, you took a paragraph to state you did not like "Thank you" but refused to elaborate any further when asked.
Okay.
would one prefer y'all? i can try to remember that
Personally I use capitalised pronouns. And thanks.
