He seems nice but

  1. "Thoughts" posts shouldn't be used to introduce content on Ask communities, IMO
  2. There are a few video-related communities where this would fit much better, if it hasn't already been posted on them

If bots actually do start frequenting Reddit, and they get hard to detect, the AI content generation will start poisoning itself. Isn't that cool?

That's because JT Chapman is a rich white guy who reviews luxury cars and hides behind MLK quotes. Why make the world better for people who aren't him?

Despite allegedly caring about class issues too, I wonder how JT feels about Biden's latest speech, which was strongly pro union

That pesky "almost".

IDK if quoting Malcolm X makes your quote automatically correct. For example

spoiler

'[Jews] know that they control 90 percent of the businesses in black communities, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. And they benefit more from black buying power than blacks do from other parts of the white community. So they feel guilty about it. … Jews can be found on the boards of such organizations as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, but, the same Jews won’t let you become president of B’nai B’rith, or any of their other organizations.' - Malcolm X

I think I'm going to piggyback off inspiration of your question and ask my own, something like: "Enbies, how do you prefer partners or others refer to/about you?"

BTW, sorry for misunderstanding the goal of your post, but I appreciate your (and others') replies here.

I should have seen this coming a mile away

My personal recommendation is to drop the extra title entirely. For everybody.

E.g. instead of saying "great work man" just say "great work." It could help you prevent flubs later.

I do wish I knew some non-binary singular terms I could use, but none come to my mind

"Buddy" elicits so many conflicting feelings in me.

You're asking about a collective and also a singular...

Just in general I'd say that if you're trying to quit a habit around trans women, go the extra mile and quit it around cis ones too. For the collective "hey guys" I have no one-word replacement ("folks/folx" sounds equally southern and somehow more cringe), but you could replace the whole phrase with "hey everybody", "hi gang", "how are you all", or just "hey".

When speaking to any woman, I would advise against calling them "dude" or "man." Full stop. No further thoughts necessary on that one.
