sometimes but usually i only get it from other tboys, or people at work where i’m closeted, so i don’t really mind it as much. i don’t think it’s too much to ask people to stop tho? like i love calling people “dawg, man, brother” but i won’t do that for transfems or people who tell me not to, it’s not hard

I’m nonbinary but feel the same way. I’m tired of my friends calling it “girls night” or “girls trip” or stuff like that.

I call people “dude” a lot, and had a trans fem friend tell me they didn’t want to. I said “ok, thanks for telling me, it means a lot that you felt comfortable saying so.” and it turned out it took an extremely minimal effort to make them feel more comfortable around me
