The 80's and 90's were my formative years, so "my dudes" has taken on a gender-agnostic meaning in my view (anecdotal evidence alert), so much so that I address whoever I've got in my team for a given day:

  • A team full of guys? "Good morning my dudes";

  • A team of mostly guys and some women? "Good morning my dudes";

  • A team of mostly girls and one or two guys? "Good morning my dudes";

  • A team full of girls? "Good morning my dudes" (maybe "dudettes" but then I feel I'm making an exception based on gender which seems demeaning, so dudes is safer);

  • A team of a guy, a girl, a rabbit in a hat, and a dog? "Good morning my dudes";

  • A team full of Avril Lavignes? "hey hey you you I don't like your girlfriend";

  • A team full of people I don't know because it's dark? "Good morning my dudes".

I am a simple person.

it's interesting that you are using "guy" as "man", because the next person is gonna say, that "you guys" is also gender neutral

I was so happy those years I lived in the us south. I earned my Y'all Card (I am now fully licensed to say Y'all) and it is pretty great

I never even considered that. Learning one's blind spots is always a benefit 😊

I'm not even sure if "blindspot" could be construed as an ableist term.

Every human has a blind spot where their retina connects to their optic nerve
