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

    “Whats up dude”-gender neutral

    no, it isn’t

    Everyone can be a dude.

    not everyone fucking wants to be

    Context is important.

    yes, which means you do recognise that the term isn’t “neutral” and therefore can and should, at the very least

    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

    as op suggests.

          I think its a side effect of being chronically online. I find myself more irritated easily after spending all day on my computer. I dont blame people. I just think everyone needs a better outlet for their problems and issues.

        So if you were friends with a trans woman who didn’t want to be called dude, you just wouldn’t give a shit and call her that anyway?
