To use the word "guys" to refer to people

When referring to a mix of gendered people is there anything wrong with saying:

"Hey guys"

"Nice one guys"

"Guys, shall we catch up soon"?

Is it sexist against women? I don't know what opinion to have, so wise vipers please tell me your thoughts.

You sound like someone who would benefit from a thesaurus Smile

Or maybe I haven't got a chip on my shoulder AND I am confident enough in my feminity to be happy with "guys" and shall stick to my own preferences, not some suggestion from a random internet poster.
