Casual terms of address for women?

#21
As an adult female chess player I do find it a bit disrespectful when even adult female commentators will refer to adult female player's as Girls when they are obviously older!! Though it can be a first Language problem

Your "logical" conclusion doesn't force trans hate or
non trans hate

You have lost me a bit! I was talking about commentators on all female tournaments:)) So they are obviously all female! :))

Yes, if I don't no someone's gender/age, I would just say hi and chat/make friends, etc

> While speaking to my peers that are men, I often use casual terms of address such as 'man', 'brother', 'bruv' and the like, but what about when addressing women? I have observed that women (in my locality) that are close friends with each other mostly call each other 'bro' but it sounds kinda odd so I want to know about terms of address that are specific to women.

uh if we're really close we call eachother b**** (that might just be a high school thing tho idk)
