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

    Idk i really do call everyone a dude or guy. Same with homeboy for example. I think getting offended by gender neutral guy is like being offended by single person they.

        Not fuck you if you disagree but its correct to use it for cis men, trans men, cis women but not trans women?

          It’s fine if you use it that way, as long as you know and respect that some people don’t and respect when someone doesn’t want to be called that

      Yeah it’s really dumb. My girl friends use dude amongsts themselves. It would be transphobic if they would stop using it when referring to our trans friend. Dude and guys has become gender neutral in many contexts.
