"dude" is not gender neutral

you don't have to "play guess the gender" if you only take a second to ask the person or read their bio

if you disagree please feel free to go eat your own shoe

@squirrel I've been slowly trying to phase "dude" out of my vernacular for a while.

It's kinda tough, but making it so you're not misgendering someone is a plus.

@TonicBH by all means people are free to use "dude" with whoever is comfortable with it

but it is not a gender neutral term
