To me, a is part of the category I was attempting to include

I could be wrong (and I hope @riwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone will correct me if I am), but I don't think "a" is a category. I think they were simulating a stutter. The "a- and ppl" is (I think) meant to be pausing and restarting the word "and" halfway through.

I thought it was short for asexual :-/ still learning new things

As an Asexual, can confirm, they're just making a joke with a text based stutter, not referring to Asexual or Agender, such as in "LGBTQIA+" that generally refers to multiple things under the "A".

In the latter case, it's left open ended for inclusivity, rather than arbitrarily excluding other things by specifying.

As for how the original comment could possibly be more inclusive, it's harder to say exactly, but I can think of something like "Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone else", but I'm not exactly great at fancy words... or words in general... but I try my best.

All good, you did nothing wrong haha. I don't think the other person was even genuinely criticizing your post, I think it was meant to be a lighthearted joke.

Besides, asexuality would be a lack of sexual attraction - I guess "agender" would be the only "a-something" that's relevant to a male/female dichotomy.
