That's what dictionary.com says, and that's true in some places, but in other places "guys" is definitely gendered.
Imagine a group of cishet men saying : "I'm off to the strip club to see a bunch of guys taking their clothes off and dancing in a provocative manner."
Does that seem reasonable? If not, then the term "guys" is gendered.
On top of that, most of the women I know feel that "guys" is a term that excludes them. That's enough for me to avoid using it.
