I really really really can't stress strongly enough

Bitch on Wheels blog post by Debbie Rasmussen, July 7, 2008 - 7:18pm; tagged exclusive, exclusive language, gendered language, inclusive, inclusive language, language.

how much it shocks my heart to hear how often the expression "you guys" is used in everyday language, especially in social movement/radical community spaces.

I don't mean to be unsympathetic or humorless or heartless. Yes I understand how difficult it is to replace that phrase with something else. But I promise it can be done. And talking about love and revolution and radical politics and building a movement feels so much better once "you guys" is gone.
