That would depend on the intent of the user. If it is intended to be gender-specific, then it is such. Conversely, if it is used more generally, then it is non-specific.
The special meaning to which I was referring is a very "focused" one. From the Urban Dictionary:
" Gurl: A transvestite or drag queen who enjoys flaunting it and having a good time.
It is spelt 'gurl' rather than 'girl' because it is not a real girl, but similar enough to imitate.
Usually used in writing for context rather than spoken. Ex: Bill and Jake were two gurls who enjoyed partying all night at the transvestite bar. "
All these said, I should be honest and give it to you that the more general meanings to which you were referring were also defined there. I did not know that. Now I do!.. :-)

Originally it was only about a guy. But now it's used for both guys and girls.
Dude is supposed to be a gender specific term that refers to a guy, but it is often not used that way today.
Yeah i say it all the time in sentences with my girlfriends
I have used it for girls and if they didn't like it... well those dudes can fuck off.
No, I like to know certain words have meaning and are not loosely used. So California uses dude that much?
Dude is just a Noun for Anyone or Anything. I dropped my pen four times today and said to my pen "Dude what the F*×+ is wrong with you today?"
I think it is I call girls dude guys dude and my dog dude so yea
Dude... Is definitely gender neutral like guys, but not guy. They have dudette, but most don't care to say that.
Yep
Dudette is the female version (which I sometimes call my male friends), but Dude is commonly used for both genders
I don't personally, but it appears to be heading that way.
Let me amend my stance. Girl to girl, and guy to guy: YES. Guy to girl: No
Yes just as much as gurl is 😊
Hey dude
Hey gurl
Same 🤷ββοΈ😊
Well, gurl with "u" has a special meaning though!.. ;-)
@roxy_362
Yes thatβs my point - itβs slang π
And you can use it towards anyone

I dont know what gender neutral means but I call girls dude all the time
Yep. I have used dude for both men and women and most women don't take offense to it.
I think so lol. I call everyone dude 😂
I don't but I have a friend who'd say 'dude' to everyone
It probably isn't. I still use it as such and call guys and girls dude.
It's really not, but plenty of women use it like it is.
I call both men and women bitches
doesn't make it gender neutral
No.. If it was we wouldn't have invented the turn dudet.
