Multiple sources, including Merriam-Webster, Cambridge and Oxford state that "dude" is a masculine noun, synonymous with man, guy, etc., so I disagree with this. As an exclamation, sure, as it's not referring to anyone in particular, so it can be taken as an impersonal interjection.
Well, judging by the myriad dictionaries out there, this word has been gendered well before this subject's been broached.
Weird hill to die on, this, where you'd rather defend words than people.
