As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

To be clear, it's not bad to like being called dude, or to be okay with people using it for you. Your preferences are your preferences. What is bad is you yourself using it in a gender neutral way to refer to people who are not dudes.

I, for example, am not gender fluid. I spend 100% of my time identifying as a woman. There is no situation in which I would not object to being called dude, and an insistence that it's actually okay to call me dude (a masculine gendered word) because it's supposedly gender neutral, is incredibly frustrating.
