Is “guys” a genderless term?

I hope this is allowed as it’s not directly autism-related but I want clarification from my people.

This was asked on AITAH and I said I think the man in question was a soft YAH because I don’t think “guys” is a genderless term. However, I was lambasted for saying that and loads of people were saying guys is, without doubt, 100%, a genderless term that is inclusive to women.

As a woman, I don’t believe it is inclusive but am I just not picking up on a societal norm??

I’d be interested to get your opinion.
