make sure you ask your trans/non binary friends what they do and don't like to be called 😊 it can mean a lot, if your unaware

My dude, dude is used as a gender neutral term

This complaint doesn't even makes sense because you would always be using it as a noun, not a pronoun

Girl, are you sure?

It would be more like calling someone a chick, if being used in that context.

Probably more like calling someone "queen" imo. "Chick" is usually objectifying, "queen" is not.

Queen is, for me, definitely positive, where dude is neutral.

So, I throw "gal" in the ring - I'd be cool being called gal as a binding word.
