    Yep I also say dude to men and women. Big deal.

    I guess next time I see your mom I’ll call her dude.

    (I kid, I kid.)

      Don’t kid. Call her dude or guy, I literally do not care.

      (I kid not and don’t see the point, and for a “Cosmic” Cleric, you seem a bit uptight and closeminded)

      I call my mom dude all the time. IMO there is no reason to be offended by being misgendered. Unless it’s obviously an attack.

        Well as someone from an older generation I’d generally agree with you, a simple mistake to apolgize for, and not to be taken so negatively.

        But it does seem that these days that type of logic does not hold sway, as people care very deeply about proper gender identification now, and see it as being disrespected if incorrectly gendered. So I try to always use the right gender, so no accidental disrespect is done.

          People will always expect you to understand things about them you cannot. If someone gets mad. That person sucks. lol.
