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.
Depends on the context.
"Hey Brian, were you making out with a dude last night!?"
"Haha, no, that was Annie, she's a chick, she just has short hair."
Dude(s) and Guy(s) can be gender neutral or male-only. Girl can mean a female child, or it can mean a woman, depending on the context.

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
What about youse?
I've always been fond of "yinz", despite never having been to Pittsburgh

People really dont understand how languages work. Even brother and man can be gender neutral. If you say "man, whyd you do that" thats gender neutral. Same with dude and guy.

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

This is a good joke but it really lets itself down by switching from "guys" to "dudes" when it's about the former word...
Real and gay
