@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.
