make sure you ask your trans/non binary friends what they do and don't like to be called 😊 it can mean a lot, if your unaware

I tend to only call guys dude, unless it’s more of a “dude what is going on” where “dude” isn’t actually referencing anyone in particular.
That said, I do say “guys” a lot for an all inclusive grouping.
Thought… I’m not really going to ask random people what they want me to refer to them as, and I’m also not going to start assuming I know who is trans/non binary. I don’t really want people asking me, either. Take a guess, if you guess wrong I’ll let you know. And I’d hope for the same from others.
The only time I’d really take offense is the second time, since that shows a clear disregard for my preferences. Well, disregard or malice.
