Plenty of women have been called "dude" and called each other "dude" back in the day too.
This has always been one of the funniest things in my queer trans spaces. Some fem or enby folks absolutely do not want to be dude and some are insulted that you won't dude them. It just depends on the person.
As it is with most things, try to tread lightly until you get a feel for the person and can ask them directly or hear directly how they're okay being referred to. I try not to dude people unless I'm sure they're okay with or want to be dude-ed
