Sort of off topic. But if you are putting a disclaimer that something is "gender neutral", just use a different word. Y'all? Fam? ๐
For those that say these are inherently gender neutral, how many bros have you slept with? Would you sleep with a man? This is all literally patriarchy. Male isn't the "default" human experience.
Bro and dude have effectively become gender neutral for referring to someone. It's not patriarchy, it's how a language evolves.
I fuck bros all the time but I'm gay and non-binary
Genuine question because that confused the heck out of my brain.
What does gay and non-binary together mean? Are you only attracted to other non-binary people?
I had a straight non-binary friend once; ze was small and androgynous and ze would generally date "lumberjack witch" enbies or other people who were differently gendered from zir.
uh, I definitely want to sleep with my bro's
Your argument doesn't really work, because 'bro' isn't a word used to describe sex partners, in the same vein, you would never say "I've slept with the boys", but you could use the sentence "I was hanging out with the boys".
Sure, I'm not really trying to play a semantics game so much as call attention to the fact that these are inherently gendered terms. If you were to say "hanging out with the girls (gender neutral)" or say "hanging out with the boys (gender neutral)", you are just being awkward and should just change the word.
What are you on about? There's not even a male pronoun in the whole post
