I'm kind of, like, done with the "I call everyone dude, it's not gendered" thing. Like, no shade, I just really don't feel like doing it anymore. It still feels gendered. Like, I wouldn't call a woman in a ball gown dude, but I could do it to her husband. So idk, I think I'm gonna cut down on it. Make my language just generally even less gendered, and use dude with close friends.
