transSo I thought I'd bring up a set that frustrate me: Phrases like "guys and gals," or "men and women." I just can't help but think "well, what about the rest of us?"
I mean, I kinda expect it from day to day life. To be on the level, I have a bit of an ulterior motive with this post: the amount phrases like that pop up on this board can get frustrating. I don't want to harsh on anyone (I mean, they're such common phrases I doubt most people think about how they might hurt), but I realized that if I don't speak up about feeling marginalized, I can't expect people will ever think about how such phrases can be hurtful.
