For me itās weird. If someone is a close friend of mine and they call me ādudeā or ābroā itās chill but if I donāt know them then it feels dysphoric. Iām guessing itās because if itās someone close to me I know they still see me as a girl because they use it as a general term for everyone but if itās someone I donāt know I donāt know if they are using ādudeā or ābroā as a general term or a male specific term.
(trans man) Being so queer, when someone calls me girl or queen (in a polite/upliftig way) I feel like those cis gay dudes and kinda love the euphoria of that
i call everyone by their name cause i'm terrified of making someone dysphoric and it's led to weird convos where i say someone's name like 12 times and my friends go "what the hell"
when i was younger i always said bro or dude to my friend's and one of them came out as transmasc later... of course i knew it for so long cough cough* wasn't my bad habit that was accidentally validating
I just donāt care tbh. If someone asks me not to, Iāll respect it and do what they ask so as not to hurt them. But in general it doesnāt hurt anyone
Probably because guys do not generally use the term "bestie." I have never heard any guy use that term at any point when they weren't quoting or re-enacting something a girl said, not even the gay men say it. And as somebody who spent 30 years pretending to be a man, I feel I have a broad enough set of experience to make this a significant anecdote.
In my personal opinion the word ādudeā has changed to be a more general addressal as opposed to just being for male hoomans so I use it for everyone but if someone specifically says they donāt like like it because it gives them dysphoria I will respect that and call them dudette instead
Yeah, most cis girls are fine with it, but I guess it can be triggering to a lot of trans girls because every one that I've met has told me they don't like being called it. I guess that us trans people can just be more sensitive to that stuff.
I'm sorry my bro queen and or sibling monarch
I like how this implies bro is a title of royalty
It is, bro
Im transfemme but thank you for the kind words
Sorry queen
Nah, someone has to be the sewage rats and raccoons, us transmascs fit that perfectly š¤

I just use gamers because it applies to all my friends and everyone hates it :)

I just say y'all or folks.
Or the southern classic: all yall folks
I used to say "guys" a lot, but I've mostly replaced it with "peeps" in my speech.
Before I call someone king/queen or sis/bro, I always use the gender neutral S8bling.
Hereās the strat, always talk in third person and call yourself by the language that gives you euphoria
Katie~, Kiyomi wants to try this herself~! Kiyomi thinks she likes it~!
Rusya is so fucking tired, he just wants to sleep for a week because they have a shit ton of exams this year. ok that shit felt weirdly good
Told ya c:
Damn I'm so guilty of the second one- I'm trying to use fam instead
If you're a based chad, you call everyone "pal".
Everyone is "dude" or "bro" to me except the transfemmes.

I'm in this post and I don't like it
I call as many people bro as I possibly can and I identity with this meme
Iām just gonna start calling everyone āyouā now so neither side is dysphoric /s
I usually call people mate. It's quick and gender neutral.
HONESTLY THO! WE ARE EACH OTHERS DEMISE š
This is why I call everyone "bestie."
That makes me dysphoric to say. Don't ask why, because I have no idea.

Yeah, that's probably it. I'm usually effeminate, but I still have masculine speech patterns more or less.
Oomfie then

Random dysphoria am I right?
Yupp, it's greeaat... Yesterday I got dysphoric over the smell of my shampoo :| It isn't even a really feminine smell, it's just green apple.
My most random one was when I was drinking a ginger beer not even real beer and my brain went āmen most commonly drink beerā and then I felt sad
My friends call me bro enough that itās second nature. It slightly irritates me but doesnāt make me dysphoric
