I hope so too!

Aww, hope you can get over that headache alright! Hope you don't get sick either!

I hope you don't get sick next week either, and if your headache still hasn't gone away, I hope you get over that soon!

Thank you guys :)

Moople is a girl, not a guy.

I know :3. In dutch, we sometimes use 'guys' when we are referring to a group of people with mixed genders, like in Spanish :P. I thought that was the same in English :3

Anyways, thank you guys and girls ;)

I do that sometimes too hehe, all good! And thank you for your concern We3 =)

It is the same in English, but as with any other form of discrimination, I neither support, allow, nor perform sexism and transphobia. I am a Tennesseean, cisgender guy, but that does not in any way eliminate the possibility of being a liberal person, which I am.

I don't want to get too much off topic, and I know you mean it well, but here is my view too though:

If say there would be a group of all white persons and one black person, and I would note the black person separately, people would call it racism too (since I would make a distinction in the race).

Haha, it took me a bit before I understood the simile, haas... I get it now, though!
@We3: this has nothing to do with sexism or transphobia, don't worry. It's no issue if you [I]don't[/I] use the phrase 'guys' when addressing anything other than male sex male gender people, but it's also no issue if anyone else uses it more broadly.

It feels a bit strange to me too, though. I guess it's a language thing.
In the Netherlands, girls often address their friends with 'guys', even if they're all female. Language is strange like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Haas: hope you're better now. :)
@We3: how would you have said it instead?

I probably would've just said "Thanks everyone" in case there were people of both genders, intersex people, or trans people.

It is better now, however, after spending 6 full hours on exams today I am feeling it again >.>
