It's also a good substitute for "you guys"
It's a contraction of "you" and "all." It was never a gendered phrase to start with.
“Guys” is an ungendered word. Has been since the 80’s (and likely well before): https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/19074/what-is-a-feminine-version-of-guys
People who are into pronouns and all that crap really need to do more research.
I banged 10 guys last night
The same night my mom died, so did my pride and that small clock near the door.
What’s your point flipping words?
I guarantee you that when most people think of a "guy", they aren't thinking of a woman. This is the same argument as "mailman is gender-neutral".
"so you fuck guys?"
Or in New Jersey, "youse guys"
