Ada's going to be shocked when she finds out the user I told her was being transphobic is a transphobe. How could she have known, why didn't anyone tell her!? /s
Yeah calling someone guy is obviously masculine. "Hey guys" is less so, but it's entirely fair to not like it. Man and dude: no shit it's masculine gendering.
South Park brained "nonpolitical" "centrist" chuds also like to say "dude" and piously claim that it isn't gendered.
"Hey everybody," has been my default for a while now. I don't understand what's so hard about making that the norm for some people.
If I want to be a bombastic show-off on stage (which I like to do sometimes!), I'll open with, "Welcome, one and all, to... THE THINGY!"
This isn't rocket surgery. Even an old asshole like me can be inclusive with next to zero effort.
I like "Howdy, folks 🤠"
"Hey y'all" for similar cowboy effect
Alternatively:
Surely the precise meaning of words like dude, guys etc. is dialect and audience dependant? Use of English can very considerably just across the US and more so internationally.
