As a native midwesterner, I get more annoyed and defensive than I should when people complain that “you guys” isnt gender neutral. Where I come from, everyone is “a guy”.
It can mean “male person”, but that’s only if you use it in specific contexts that brings up gender (like saying “guys and gals”).
