I thought they were. I go to a restroom. If I say to Randy, "sup dude" I assume he is male and Randy has a dick. If Randy corrects me saying "but I'm a chick", then I'm assuming she doesn't have a dick. That would make me question internally why Randy chose the men's bathroom to pee in. To which I would respond, "Whatever Randy, just wash your hands after"
You'd probably have to ask yourself why you thought that. If it's on the basis of the use of "dude" that's dodgy...girls use that word too. Just as guys use the word chick, and tell their buddies to stop being them, lol.
If I tell you that my friend sam is a real dude for a girl...I'm not indicating that she has a large penis for a female, and I use binary heteronormative language by force of habit.
