minus-squareRevan343@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoNope, “y’all” is still not the problematic part
minus-squareipkpjersi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·edit-21 month agoOkay, I’ll bite. How is y’all not the problematic part when it’s specifically referring to trans people in that case? That certainly seems problematic to me.
minus-squareRevan343@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 month agoLiterally the entire rest of the sentence is the problematic part. “We don’t take kindly to you”, it doesn’t matter if they say “y’all”, “you all”, “you people”, “your kind”, take your pick, it’s not the problem with the sentence
