When I say not using guys is hard I mean I still don't use it in the so-called gender neutral way (to describe groups of any gender) except once or twice a year. So my slip ups aren't that often. And when I slip it's with a guy usually which helps me not feel too guilty.

The others I just don't do. It's not hard. Calling women "girls" or "females" is really easy to avoid because I don't see them as children or animals.

I know it's not fully which is why I prefer 'y'all' or other truly neutral expressions. I just find it interesting how words lose some of their meaning and change. I think it's fair enough to recall their original meaning and decide it's not a word/expression you want to use tho.

Yeah. Agreed.
