Dude is also genderless.
I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes!
I worked at a university and I heard women call each other "bro" all the time.
Dude for me is genderless, but it's not a label everyone can fit into, you gotta be chill.

I definitely use "guy" as gender neutral. I used to refer to women as "dude" as well, but it was a bit controversial so I stopped
I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes!
I also follow the Less than Jake linguistic model.

This is a good joke but it really lets itself down by switching from "guys" to "dudes" when it's about the former word...
I always "y'all" and I'm not even from the south.
Y’all gives modern English the second person plural it would otherwise be missing

i’m from australia and i’ve adopted yall for exactly that reason
it also makes me real happy that some very transphobic shit heads would be furious if they knew that “their word” was part of the solution to gender neutral terminology
