I had a funny experience with a “Hey guys” email greeting when I moved to France (where I work in English surrounded by non-native speakers). Because of how gender works in their languages, they had never seen this used as a catchall for a group of people. Cis women were excluded because they thought it literally excluded them. Your article was a great reminder that my casual greeting is exclusive in English, too. Thanks Jason. :)
