   @MissConstrue @ryanhoulihan Yeah, I've called women "dude" when hanging out. More because you're not really focusing on gender than that it's gender neutral. Interestingly, the only person who ever expressed offense was a man who insisted everyone hold to it's old meaning, "overdressed oaf." Meant we'd never be friends but I tried not to do it to him anymore. I can see why a trans wouldn't like it. So I'll try not to. If they want to assume I'm a dick because I call girls "dude" they can.

     @MissConstrue @ryanhoulihan I've even been known to refer to a female friend as "man" and that's clearly misgendering. Nobody involves sees it that way though.

     @ryanhoulihan @MissConstrue Thing is, language evolves. "Dude! huhuhuh," is a huge part of my lexicon and I'm not gendering by it nor commenting on your attire. I get it. I do. And yeah, I try to accommodate people. At the end of the day though I hang with the people who can accept me for who I am. In all honestly, that's not a lot and I don't actually care because most people discomfort me. Sometimes personalities clash and discomfort can result. It's whatever.
