I accidentally called a femboy dude and felt bad about it, but then I was like, “wait, no, they’re just a boy who likes girly stuff, it’s OK to call them dude, right?” I’d ask them but don’t want to be rude®.
minus-squareth3f4ultOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up27·7 months agoWell MOST femboys don’t identify as trans women, some of them do, not to be confused with transmasc femboys, They also exist.
minus-squareFartsWithAnAccent@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up11·7 months agoGuess I’ll have to ask and apologize if I misgendered them. Thanks!
minus-squareNum10ck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·7 months ago‘Dude’ as a term is losing its gender anyway.
minus-squareFartsWithAnAccent@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4·7 months agoI’m all for it. “You guys” too.
minus-squareFartsWithAnAccent@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up9·7 months agoSome people think so, but I’m all for it being used to refer to anyone.
minus-squareJulian@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·7 months agoDepends on the person. I tend to use “guys” and “dudes” as gender neutral and nobody’s ever corrected me, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
