Hello Gents, 
(gents is and abbreviation of gentiles, you can add any postfix to make it gender aware: men, women, alien)

No, that's not what it means in English, but even if it did ... you're including women but excluding Jewish people?
Why not just avoid the word "gents"?

Wow... i meant gentle.
I thought it has the same meaning as the French word, : kind and nice.

You've just thaught me something new.
Thank you very much.


Positivity is key attribute in a community. Please advocate for it.


 
You could start by not using exclusionary language when it's already been pointed out once.
