I think about this sometimes. I’m not sure if it’s like the word “guys” or not but I’ve defaulted to just not calling trans women it even if I call cis women nigga because it’s unclear. It’s weird because if I said “niggas” it could be a group of all men or a mixed gender group but not a group of women. However, With all the black women friends I’ve had the word has been used to refer to each other and to men

The word could be used as a slur against women as well. All black people can be niggas. Not just men. So it could be gender neutral??

Also I’ve found that white people mostly see “niggas” as solely referring to black men but who cares what they think? Not me.

    Id say usually it means men, calling a black womana nigga is pretty wild imo not that it doesnt happen though.
