“Bro” is gender neutral for me. Though I still try to avoid it with transfems I don’t know very well (which is… all except one) since I can’t know if they’d tell me if it makes then uncomfortable. Since even if you know how it’s meant it can still feel bad.
One of the very few things where I’ll change how I interact with a transfem vs a ciswoman
“Dude” and “Bro” being gender neutral really varies from social circle to social circle. I always air on the side of caution although I’ve even seen some cis females call each other dude and bro
Honestly in my social circle “Dude” has basically become gender neutral.
Dude, man, bro, and “fellas” have all become gender neutral to me
Edit: come to think of it not only has “bro” become neutral, but “bro-sephanie” has become something I use for guys.

Bro … it’s “err”.
Engrish hard :(
God I wish. I accidentally ‘dude’ my trans friends on occasion. I feel so bad.
