The only person allowed to have an opinion on this sat there and didn't seem to mind. Hunter Schafer is an adult person. She can talk for herself. Getting riled up about something she obviously didn't mind is infantilizing her, as if she can't take care of herself and has no right to decide how she wants to be called. So the only people here who showed any disrespect were the people trying to make this into a thing, while the person it concerns hasn't asked them to.

bro what💀 people want to get offended by anything these days. bud, dude, whatever, its just a nice nickname to a friend.

Remember that thread yesterday where it listed all the things that annoyed millenials and it was just a bunch of stuff that annoys boomers as well? This reminds me a little of that. Just a bunch of people pearl-clutching.

This policing of language needs to chill. Taking anything anyone says at its worst possible meaning and using that to fuel an outrage. This isn't helping trans people.

It's wild how a lot of people have leaned so far into acceptance and whatnot that they've flipped around and rediscovered moral puritanism. Yes, I can see how it COULD bother a trans woman, absolutely, but that's up to her, isn't it? We can't be perfect 100% of the time, and getting offended on behalf of someone else over something like this just dilutes the struggles trans people actually go through.

Stupid s**t like this is what's going to be the downfall of society.

I really hate that I read this. People will get offended over anything on other people's behalf.

If she's comfortable with it she's comfortable with it. If she's not for whatever reason respect it

Clíckbait

I use "guys" collectively to everyone... oops?? Like, "what are you guys doing this weekend?" Buddy doesn't seem offensive to me. This is dumb.

Are people going to start taking a big issue with a group of girls being called "guys". The only time it's offensive is when someone is clearly misgendering with clear intentions of insulting. But that would only be offensive to the targeted person. Not every person of that gender.

This is so dumb.

Bud and pal are gender neutral? When he starts calling Meryl Strep "bro" we should be concerned.

Just another example of how overly sensitive everyone and everything is. The world needs tonight up, and not try to find a way to be offended by everything.

Oh c'mon. How many times have females been called "dude"? I'm sure Fallon didn't mean anything by the term. That is obviously a "masculine" term as well but has somehow found it's way to become neutral. This is by far a stretch for someone to complain about imo.

okay BUDDY.

Using scientifically Cally version from able biologically appropriate pronouns and descriptive terms is not misgendering a person. Calling a biology cap male by nin male terms is misgendering. Orwell I s turning in his grave. Science isn't a hate crime. If we want to reclaim sanity in our society we must absolutely own the terms of our language. No intuitions social engineering must be allowed to dictate these lies to us no more. For examples. No doctor arbitrarily assessment gns a child a gender. The doctor simply observes the obvious biological GENitalia fact and documents it. Noone is s banning trans from sports or bathrooms or other venues when we demand you partake with the sex of your 📖 fic fact of your reality. Saying so is all lies. Using 📖 gicalky appropriate pronouns isn't an act of aggression it's an act of sanity. Ok. Furthermore defending the welfare of children and the safe spaces and venues set aside for REAL females isn't hating queers

it's hard to say what the intent was behind this. it DOES feel like he probably wouldn't use that term for other women. however, as an example, despite being British and not a surfer type. my husband has got a bit of a habit of calling pretty much everyone "Dude" men, women, children, dogs, cats, the lot. yes, it's generally considered a male term, but it is one people use interchangeably. there's someone in our local supermarket who we have seen undergo their transition in the time we've been going there, and after one interaction he came out absolutely cringing because he called her Dude. he calls lots of women Dude. but he had the good sense to realise that for her it might feel like misgendering, whereas when he's talking to me or my female friends and so on, none of us are going to think he's implying we're male. we know it's just a word he uses for everyone. he's self aware enough that he tries not to accidentally call people he knows to be trans women "Dude"

People will get offended over anything these days.

I call my (female) friends bro and dude all the time. Like others have said, Jimmy calls everyone bud.

We call two people, of the opposite sex or otherwise, that have a friendship with benefits "fückbuddies".

Does also say actor as opposed to actRESS but I consider actor as gender non-specific anyway....

Hysterical. Snow flakes find it so necessary to create controversy where none exist and then "run to the rescue" of the alleged victim. Thats what happens when you live in a woke world. Poor Jimmy.

Now, I'm going to trust the people who knows more than me and say I will make sure to never use bud for a trans woman/nonbinary person. BUT, I did think it was gender-neutral my whole life.
