I prefer the gender neutral dude. We're all dudes on this glorious day.
Dude definitely has masculine roots, it isn't really gender neutral even if it is sometimes used as such.

๐ถ I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes!
In context of music, DUDY
I dunno, I like 'dudette'. It's a fun and silly word.
Dudette is a silly word. But its sole existence is to make dude gendered.
Or just because it was a joke in some shitty comedy.
I've only ever heard 'Dude' used about men. So I can not attest to it's gender neutrality.
You need to use it in a gender neutral way, my dude.
I'm not a native english speaker. "Dude" isn't part of my general vocabulary, with the exception of internet forums.
