I refer to everyone as "guys" even if they are in fact girl guys. I have a new girl peer and I asked her permission to continue referring to the group as "guys". she said it was actually good. actually bad though?

you should be saying all y'all. it's more inclusive.

I've said folks. Feels pretty hokey but is gender neutral.
My last job had a ton of women so you were really conscious of it. One guy I worked with wasn't exactly good with the social aspect of things would refer to a group of women in positions of power as "you girls".
And yeah her saying "it's fine" doesn't exactly make it fine since it sounds like she's the only female in the boy's club. It might be! But her saying it's fine doesn't make it so.

SdK to the three women in the office at the moment: Have a good weekend ladies.
Coworker: *laughs* Oh, I guess Mike isn't in here.
SdK: Yeah, I wouldn't insult you guys like that.
I then laughed hysterically at myself as I walked out the set of 36"x96"x1/2" double glass doors.

combine it: guys + gals = gays

It is very sexist and misogynist to use the term guys when women (ciswomen or those who identify as women) are included. But I continue to use it until someone comes up with a non-stupid alternative.

'Sup bitches' works in mixed company pretty well in my experience. YMMV.

Someone who is cisgender is a person who identifies as the gender that matches the body that they were born with.

If you want to alienate your female coworkers for the sake of brevity, then I guess that's your prerogative sd :dunno:

try all y'all.

zero percent bad, guys is correct
-
i say guys and so does everybody else including ladies
i think guys is gender neutral
-
I see the question as one of whether "guys" is appropriate/courteous/respectful in spite of the fact that it can be gender neutral.
The fact that it warrants discussion could be an indication that "guys" isn't the best option.

yeah well you gotta read the room

100% guys all the time, eff the haters

This just made me realize my wife will sometimes say "guys" to our two daughters. I think it's from her teaching days where she would regularly say "guys" to her class.

I have two daughters and when I'm around my nephews I'm always like "let's go girls".

I hear women refer to mixed gender groups as guys all the time , the only people that are offended by it are hyper pc someone who makes me uncomfortable types.

Just because women do something, doesn't make it right or not misogynistic. Women were raised in a misogynistic world.

I don't think the word "guys" existed when the English language was founded.
