"yall" is obviously not the problematic part of that sentence

I might as well double down while I'm here, "we don't take kindly" was too aggressive wording.

I meant something more neutral like "I think y'all are weird".

That way, the y'all is the problematic part. That was my point.

Nope, "y'all" is still not the problematic part

Okay, I'll bite. How is y'all not the problematic part when it's specifically referring to trans people in that case?

That certainly seems problematic to me.

Literally the entire rest of the sentence is the problematic part. "We don't take kindly to you", it doesn't matter if they say "y'all", "you all", "you people", "your kind", take your pick, it's not the problem with the sentence
