There's people who don't like dude being used as unisex

Can't help people who take offence when none is given. People need to stop taking what isn't theirs.

I'm going to be referring to people taking offense to things like that or being offended for another group of people as "stealing offense" now.

Or, y'know, if someone asks me not to call em dude, I just do my best not to. It's a bit simpler

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

They aren't dudes.

Nobody's asking the elephants how they feel about it

This is how the neutral gender in latin, got absorbed into the male gender in most romance languages.

Doesnt German have a gender neutral form just in case you can't remember what imaginary sex organs "Pizza" has?
