Hi Guys (no gender is inferred in this greeting!),
With Monzo celebrating pride with logo changes etc and the excellent piece written in teams by Brad Corrigan - can we FINALLY get a rainbow card please?
I suggested it as an option for Monzo plus, which was well received, how about giving us our rainbow please 
Fingers crossed and keep safe
Paul
You’d be best creating a topic for your suggestion so people can vote on it 
I can’t see the benefit outweighing the cost, particularly now. Voting isn’t going to change that.
Card stock isn’t cheap in quantity and while this could be a ‘paid for’ item, I fear it won’t shift in sufficient quantity to cover the up front costs.
Maybe in future years once profitability has been achieved.
Or maybe as a Monzo Plus option?
Wasn’t it Revolut or some other card that had these? They appeared to manage it.
They flew off the shelves at Revolut, but it was an international thing.
Yeah it was them and they were limited edition too. Perhaps that’s the key? A one off run?
Well judging by the teardowns, Monzo seems keen on the Revolut aesthetic, so maybe they’ll offer a similar pride version?
I know there’s debate about actually what design actually constitutes the rainbow / pride flag. But let’s keep that discussion in that thread.
They were also done on the cheap - mine started falling apart within days. It certainly has by far the most comments though at tills.
Revolut ones was a partnership with IGLA Europe and coincided with the launch of donation feature. The intention was to sign up for the donate roundups to charity or something like that.
I have one of those revolut cards, but not sure if it will be possible to renew them.
And yes their quality is not that great.
Personally I think Monzo should be coral and maybe a Plus colour/metal.
It dilutes the brand otherwise and then you have people with awful tacky cards like the people custom cards that you get with a Barclays account.
New card design is always a nice thought but I’m still not gonna vote for it whilst the Monzo team have better things to spend their time and money on, sorry (not sorry).
Also rather than using the word ‘guys’ (then apologising for it in brackets) maybe just use a different word?
Hello all! (see, it’s easy!!)
I think there’s a key difference
“Hey guys” - Maybe innocent, not really thinking, no offence meant.
“Hey guys (sorry to those who are not guys)” means you’re already thinking about it to start with and the fact you are, means it’s an easy change.
…or it was humorous and nothing to get hung up about!!!
I wasn’t taking issues nor offence. And I know that remembering these things is additional tasks for our brains but a lot of that thinking (it’s hard!) is surely from a place of privilege. Of course those who are already under additional cognitive load - the autistic as you mention as one example - will struggle. I get that too.
So I shouldn’t have said it was ‘easy’. But, on the flip side as @Revels points out the OP clearly was aware of their choice of words as they called themselves on it, so for the OP it should be an easy change.
And @Eclat01 I’m sure you meant it humorously and I really wasn’t meaning to make it a big deal but, again the flip side of that is the ‘it’s just a word/banter/joke’ is used far too often by the unaware (not saying you are unaware!).
I wouldn’t be so sure about that. It’s a very very subtle way of confirming bias, the use of language, just as it’s then as easy to laugh off as ‘just a phrase’. A young girl growing up hearing ‘guys’ all the times is gently reminded that she’s not REALLY part of the group, she should be LUCKY she’s there at all, right? Cos this is about ‘guys’… sorry, total bugbear this one, but language is so so tricky and not paid enough attention to.
And yes, I’ve said these things myself.
BTW - gender inclusive requests are as simple as referring to ‘they’ or ‘them’. “Ohh they’ve forgotten their sunglasses”. Might be easier to refer to everyone that way rather than guess? 
Not really related but sort of, I find calling someone they/them sounds rude?
“Is that your car?” “No, it belongs to her”
Is that your car? “No, it belongs to them”
Almost like an urgh, them!
Then, to be blunt, she will struggle with life. ‘Guys’ is well accepted as gender neutral in 2020 despite what people who are paid high salaries to tell us otherwise think. In fact it is those people who tell her that it is NOT gender neutral who plant the seed of doubt in her mind and start the problem! IMO.
I saw my mum and sister today in the park and greeted them with “Hey guys”. I’m in no doubt as to their gender
Maybe it’s an age-related thing?
Yup. Language changes over time remember 
It’s interesting* though, that saying ‘Hey guys!’ isn’t an issue but if I referred to my girlfriend as ‘that guy’ I’d likely get a glass of Sauvignon thrown at me 
The meaning of the plural has altered but the singular hasn’t.
*Interesting because I’m a massive geek.
