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
Dude can definitely be gendered. If I said I saw a couple dudes walking down the street, would you not think I meant two men
That said, dude as an exclamation, imo, is ungendered. It’s almost like saying woah for me.
If someone really got offended by that from me, I would probably just not talk to them anymore.
But I think the OP is talking about when someone says something like sup dude.
Girl, are you sure?
It would be more like calling someone a chick, if being used in that context.

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.
