if you wouldn’t be thrilled to be called dudette maybe don’t call people dude without knowing they are cool with it, same with being called sis for bro
also consider that if you are a cis guy being called something you don’t really align with can be a fun novelty as a rare thing but as a woman being referred to with male default language /all/ the time by mostly men becomes eventually pretty grating (and having to either put up with the mild annoyance every time or having to speak up and have it be a “thing” with every new guy calling you dude or bro is just irritating in the way a refrigerator making a quiet but annoying whining buzz all the time might be.)
