Kinda cringe. I love “dude” and say it a lot because of brainworms, but I am pretty careful with referring to people by it. It has both a potentially unpleasant sound AND is gendered.
yeah, there’s one transfem friend i have who calls me dude and i call her dude and that’s just like a thing we do, but if someone else does it it really raises my hackles even if i don’t always tell them
I am terrible with names to begin with so I just call everyone “dude”, regardless of gender. That includes my wife, father, etc.
Sounds reasonable, dude
Thanks dude
ok i’m not going to remove this but i need you to understand why people in the transgender comm might not be pleased with this attitude

Getting called “dude” by a random and just looking at them real shitty-like instead of saying anything.
No thank you
Giving people weird looks when they ask if I’m gay when I wear my shit that says “I like having sex with dudes”.
