can I use 2" pipe to vent my washing machine?
Just wanted to be sure 100% I could use a 2" pipe for my venting to the washing machine, I have 2" drain line with 2" horizontal run with in-line backwater valve but I wanted to add the oatey sure vent AAV on the venting portion for when the inspector is dancing around my house when the electrical is getting done, I couldn't find a 2 x 1 1/2 x 2" sanitary tee at my local hardware store but I have a 2x2x2" one, also the oatey sure vent will handle the 2" pipe and I have lots of 2" pipe anyway.. good to go or should i get a 2 x 1.5 reducer coupling and put the venting portion to 1.5 " ?

AAV are not approved for laundry venting, at least not the last time I wanted to use one for this purpose. Check with your building department, they will tell you if it's ok or not to use one.
If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Ya many places do not allow AAVs so check that first. But to answer your question 2” pipe would be fine.
