When referring to a group of people who are not only males but also females and others, is there a term to use other than “guys”? What would you say instead?

The use is someone saying “you guys”. Addressing the people directly, not third person.

@CJLavoie "Folks" is all I've got.

That said, I don't think that the womenfolk are vehemently opposed to "guys", generally speaking. (Happy to be corrected about that, fwiw.)

@kel @CJLavoie I've consciously watched for this. All female groups at both my lovely bride's work, and at my work, quite frequently refer to themselves collectively as guys. "It's time to head to the other room, guys." Happens a lot in my experience.
