"Dude", "guy", "man", etc. aren't gender neutral. You and I might fuck a dude, guy, man, etc but, again, not gender neutral.

And more importantly, if a significant plurality of people are asking you to stop calling them that, then you should fucking stop and find a new word- there are plenty of fine words to use.

And hell, even if one person asks you to not call them that, you should be finding a new term to address folks- oh look, an easy gender neutral word to use

Thank you for asking! There are a number of different ways, and it generally depends on when the model came out.

The very oldest models, such as myself, tend to have a big red switch on one side. These can require a substantial amount of force to operate, but are very reliable and durable.

(Note that this era of girlware can be temperamental and cranky; e.g. if your girl has a hard drive, it's best to park the heads before turning her back off again in order to prevent damage to the disk surface when the head-actuator powers down. A number of utilities are available.)

Models from the 90s will generally have a push-toggle switch on the front. This is much easier to operate. In the early 2000s, when ATX became available, this switch was converted from toggle to momentary contact.

For the newest models (2020 and later), you simply press and hold the nose. The girl may squeak briefly when activated. Be sure to give her frequent skritches in order to maintain proper attachment.
