gender neutrule terminology

transcript

Screenshot of a tweet by @feralhousepuppy: hey so you’ve been calling me “bro”, “man”, and “dude” a lot and it’s really invalidating to my masculinity cause those are all gender neutral things you call trans women :/

    hmm i can see it but that one would be more difficult to read when you aren’t used to it.
    
    when saying it. it’s a very open-mouthed sound so peeps will probably think they didn’t understand you right, while baby has a rather distinct and complete-feeling kinda sound i think.
    
    EDIT: it would sound nice tho once peeps know you use that sound-word for everyone >v<
