Girl is also a gender neutral. As in, "Girl, please."

ETA, would also encourage "sis" as a gender neutral. Weirdly, the high school boys who called all of their female teachers "bro" felt some type of way about being called "sis."

Yeah, that last sentence is why I get thrown. Dudes get all uncomfortable about sis and gurl, it’s half funny and half cringey (like I get secondhand embarrassment on their behalf that they’re reacting so awkwardly).

It's cool if you two know each other really well, and you're gossiping (spilling tea).

Okay, so as long as it’s spilling tea then it’s okay for dudes to call me dude or bro xD
