Ok. Serious question.
Do you find the word "mate" gendered?
I was surprised 23 years ago when the girls I got to know used it as I always thought it was a male thing.
Since then I've never thought that much about it as it was used for everyone that was a friend.
Everyone in my bubble uses it to refer to anyone that's their friend or whatever, no matter what they identify as.
I'd appreciate your thoughts.
