At some point you need to take responsibility for your insecurities and work on moving past them rather then expecting society to placate you. I’ve never met a cis-woman who was offended by “guys” or “dude”. I’ve never met a cis-man who was offended by being called “babe” or “hun” either.
I’m so fucking sick of the neg culture that pretends to be politically correct. There’s malicious sexism and loads of assholes out there for sure but some feel emboldened to attack anyone they construe to be saying what they think is wrong regardless of context.
Someone will always be offended by absolutely fucking everything. They can go fuck themselves.
Hell, in the Irish TV series “Bad Sisters”, the women have called each other collectively “lads”. If that’s the kind of thing that grinds your gears, you’re better off surgically excising the part of your brain that deals with language comprehension, so you can never again understand anything being said to you.
At first you need to take responsibility for what comes out your face and not assume everyone will accommodate to your inability to read the room. If you’re an asshole to someone don’t be a little bitch if you’re getting called out.

Alternatively, if a woman asks you not to call her a guy or a dude, respect that.
