Ignoring for a moment that men can have vaginas and whatnot, the origin of the word is from the sex bits, but the word itself isn't gendered. Same way you can say "she's a dick".

On second thought, it gets a little murky because that word is in some places used specifically to demean women, but that's not Australia's fault. It would be great if we all just agreed to end misogyny to fix that issue.

I grew up in and adjacent to surf world. Nobody used dudette back then. It was always just dude.

I think the tides may be turning, then. As evidenced by this meme.

dudette was a bit niche, no one really used it.

Exactly! Women can be a chill ass dude fr.

Imo, dude has always been ungendered. I call everyone dude, though I do try to use other terms when talking with my mtf homies until they know that.

Same and same, dude. But my perception isn't all that exists, and some women don't like being called dude. Just applying the logic of the dichotomies on display already.
