I'm from the Y'all zone. Is it offensive to call trans people y'all? (lemmy.ml)

There's a hidden usage of "hon" from the history of the toxic trans communities message boards to mean "trans women who don't pass" and is used condescendingly. That usage is basically dead in the water and barely known outside of a pretty narrow sliver of the queer community but it can still get you a side eye in some places.

Oof, noted.

I'll keep that in my head as something to watch for
