“You guys” is non gendered for all the people in regions who use it but I understand why people who don’t use it feel gendered by it when it’s said to them.
But the point of my comment was this feels more like cracker using AAVE to talk down.
I believe this person is from Texas, where y’all is a standard cracker term. I’m from Texas as well and I feel like I’m from bizarro world because here saying y’all makes you sound white. It seems like outside of the south is where y’all is AAVE.

More yinz erasure…
In my part of Ireland we say “ye” for a plural you, like “how are ye doing?” Some people in Dublin say “yous” or “yis”
