A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Being enby, you guys feels weird when I’m included in it.

Being female, yes.

But I do delight in the awkwardness when they're called on it and try to backtrack and blush all the way down to their male genitalia.

Why? Guys is genderless imo and used that way all the time in life, this is such a weird take.

I guess some people are totally ok with exclusionary language and don't care about the people they affect with it. Carry on.

I know many female coworkers who also say guys in a genderless fashion, it's your choice to get upset about something so benign though.
