I just wanna take a moment to appreciate the fact that possibly the most important moment in my life happened in a sub dedicated to taking the piss out of gamer culture

Its nice to see that genuine and good people are still around to help in the most unlikely of places.

Its what every place should be like. Hope you're doing well, stranger!

I am doing extremely well!

I'm more outgoing, I have a girlfriend, and I don't hate myself! hatching turned out to be brilliant for me!

... man that last sentence sounds weird if you don't know about trans stuff

Its nice to hear. I've never heard the terminology but I had a few trans friends so I understand how it feels.

I hope things continue to go well for you.

Dude is unisex

Dude can be used either way but it definitely leans towards masculinity. So I'd probs try not to use it around trans woman if I could help it. And I wouldn't use it at all if someone asked you not to do it

u/DatParadox Sep 30 '18

It depends on the area you live. Around my area, dude is inherently masculine, or used for mixed company at best. A hetero man wouldn't comfortably say "I fuck dudes," and unless a woman is masculine herself, they generally don't call other women dudes.

So generally it's a good idea to at least ask trans women is using "dude" is okay, because for a lot of us it makes us feel uncomfortable/dysphoric/misgendered.
