"fella" isn't so bad a general word for people is it
even "fellow" isn't _really_ gendered, although it kinda feels like it is anyway
on the informal poll of the fediverse I did last year
@Alyx I think I remember asking about it and discovering opinions were pretty mixed? There are a bunch of people who read it as gender neutral because of phrases like "my fellow autistic trans furries" or "So-and-so is a fellow at wherever-the-heck" or whatever, but there are also a bunch of people who read it as very distinctly male because it was apparently used that way.

@packbat thanks *whuffles*
on the informal poll of the fediverse I did last year
@packbat like, clearly enough people think it's gendered, so there's really not much more to add
