I've faced this exact scenario a few months back when I asked some questions on Preact's Gitter. Pathetic. English is not even my first language, I swear I didn't know I'd be offending someone by saying "hey guys" :/

It seems that as much as Silicon Valley preaches about being inclusive, they have a strict american-centric view of absolutely everything.
I'm also not a native english speaker and it feels like I'm walking on eggshells constantly.

Especially since in other countries, terms like guys aren't so heavily gender-specific.
