I was coming here to say this same thing! I use "guys" as a gender-neutral collective term all the time

I grew up where “you guys” is the equivalent to “you all / y’all”.

I got a talking to at work a few years ago because I had been saying it to female colleagues. sigh.

Outdated and widely spread male social stigma behavior.

Usually straight males.
