/u/tomquirk - thanks so kindly for posting this. As a trans woman in IT I couldn’t appreciate this post more at this time, nor do I think it’s ever been more relevant.

Might I suggest you consider adding - and I put here for HN’s convenience as well — a list of potential great alternatives? :)

‘Hey folks’

‘Hey everyone’

‘Hey y’all’

‘Hey team:’

Even just ‘Hey -‘

I also like ‘Good morning’, ‘Good afternoon’, ‘Good evening’, they’re great ways to inclusively greet people and start a conversation as well.

Thanks again for posting this! :)
