As an experiment, use the word "guys" to refer to an organization (if you have one) in your company that is 80% female. "Let's ask the marketing guys about this one." Does it sound strange? If it does, then the term is not gender neutral.

It sounds more neutral in the second person. It would be normal for a woman to walk up to a group of women and say, "Hey guys."
