People where I am from call everyone "you guys" - men, women, trans, doesn't matter, everyone is just "you guys" even when it's a woman addressing a group of women.

The literal meaning isn't gender neutral, but in actual practice, it 100% is.

As for "y'all" or "you all", I don't see how it could possibly be interpreted as offensive to any gender.

I'm from "you guys" but I've lived in "y'all" and now I'm forever team "y'all," regardless of where I'm living.

It's the best export from the south, except maybe Texas brisket and pecan pie.

Maine I think loops back around to y’all territory…

I mean, neither "you" nor "all" is a gendered term in any way

We need a better second person plural in English. Y'all works but its a big language gap

Y'all is the opposite of offensive for trans people. I lived in the south for a while, and I now use y'all specifically to be inclusive. I wouldn't say "you guys" is offensive to trans women, but I would say for me and likely other trans women it briefly brings to mind being misgendered in the past, so I would call it a small kindness to ube as gender neutral as possible.

"y'all" fills a legitimately useful gap the English language has. Other languages have a word like this.

Edit: also something cool I just found out, some languages have a way to disinguish "we" (you and I), and "we" (me and the rest of us, not you). It's called clusivity and is missing from European languages. Many indigenous languages of the Americas and Oceania have this, as well as Vietnamese and northern dialects of Mandarin.

If you live on the line, or move north/west, it's now "you all".

Y'all reminds me of the bible belt. I'm not transgender but I am queer and now and then it makes me uncomfortable.

People who don't even live in the USA saying "y'all" is pure pain

Trust me there are many more areas that say y'all

I'm not from the south and use "y'all" all the time. Find it very useful for filling in a gap that English has and slightly faster than saying "you all". Its gender neutral in my opinion.

Never once thought of it as offensive.

Where does this put Scott the Woz?

You forgot "Yinz"

Yall is the genderless southern hospitality greeting.

No bullshit no hate. Only yall

I bought a shirt once in Pittsburgh that says, “Yinz is a gender-neutral p pronoun”

I would have thought that “y’all” is even more so gender neutral and therefore less offensive/more accepted. It’s a contraction of “you all” right?
