    I'm okay on "guys." Calling me "dude" will leave you ignored.

      I call close female friends dude all the time. I think when we get to where we can call a trans woman dude and it carries the same implicit irony we will finally have gotten past the BS on this. Maybe another generation, when everyone knows and only truly horrific scumbags are still using gender labels to hurt and make their knuckledragging points.

        Dude is not my name anyway. I prefer Ms, Miss, she/her, that *****, or, I don't know.. my name.

          I know a LOT of females that don't mind "dude." To them, it IS gender neutral. A generic term, if you will. Like "guys" when talking to a group.
          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                    With me, I prefer:

                    My name

                    Miss Thundercat

                    That b-tch

                    Being called dear, sweetie, honey, etc is okay if my Chosen Family is calling me that.

                    She, her

                    "Guys" is okay.

                    NEVER call me dude. You may think it's an ironic term of endearment, but in my community, we don't like that and we wish people would stop with that.

                    Miss Amber is acceptable as well.

                      I don’t get bothered by any of the terms mentioned, but I did grow up with everything male-centric so I don’t think I really think about it.

                          Okay... Shawty is fine. Freak is fine (if in bed), but honey, doll, sweetie, and like terms are only fine if you're in the inner circle.

                            Honey is completely impersonal in the South. You sign as honey, sugar, sweetie, and darlin' at the title closing.

                              The further south you get, especially in the service industry, the female servers call most everyone "sugar," "honey," etc.
                              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                                While this is true, I'd never say it to a stranger myself. If some southern grandma working the diner counter wants to call you by terms of endearment, that's her business.
