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 :/
“Dude” is a hill I’ll die on. We already tried “dudette” in the 80s/90s. It was pretty universally hated. Dude was established as the preferred gender neutral term in the late 90s/early 00s at the great council of high school students.
