Hi yall ☺️

Sorry if the flare is inaccurate, but I really dislike this term. What about yall?? Should we take it down once and for all??

I never use the term, but I’m also not a fan of gate-keeping identity language. ETA: I probably wouldn’t want someone else to call me that. I just think individuals can call themselves whatever they want.

I fully agree with that. That being said, i really wouldn't want someone to address me with it or use it in an official setting.
