No need to apologize, was just curious - figured folks is gender-neutral as is, never saw an alternate form of it before.
Sincerely, thanks! Didn’t know this was a thing for anyone.

Yeah. It’s a thing but I’m not sure how much it really helps. I’ll do it because if it makes people feel better, it’s easy, but I honestly think folks is fine. The person I do this for specificly is cis, has cis kids, has a cis husband, is a member of a community that is largely not only cis, but white and female. To me it comes across as preformitve. But it makes dealing with her, and a few others, easier. If there were a real movement to adopt folx, I’m in but like I say, it seems like our effort could be better spent elsewhere.
