Do not call me “man”, “dude” or “bro”.

kiriamaya:

I realize that a lot of people have come to think of them as non-gendered colloquialisms, but they are still obviously rooted in maleness, and thus I don’t want them attributed to me.

Please and thank you.

Or mate or lad or any other designator that has a history of association with men.

Mate? The rest are gendered terms that we, society, often use non-genderedly, but mate just means friend… It’s a slightly boyish term, but in the same way that tomboys are boyish.

Obviously, I wouldn’t use any term that someone doesn’t want used for them, I’m just a bit baffled.
