I'm just going out on a limb to remind people it's totally ok to say sup man to legit anyone. People that care about that stuff are people you can choose to change it for if you want to be around that type of person.
Fellas
edit: please correct me if you believe I am wrong, I am open to discussion.
I've heard the term fellas used a lot specifically to delineate something as gendered. "It's for the fellas" = "It's a dude thing"
You people

Pal, bud, friendo, sport, tiger, chief, boss.
Y'all Y'uns Fuckers
Dudes is fine - folks and yall also work. I use yall all the time even though I'm now in Canada and have never lived in the US south.
Guys, I think, is still a bit too gender associated but it's borderline. Man is often used in a gender neutral manner but it is very easy to misinterpret and a transwoman could reasonably assume you're trying to troll them.
You've also got fella and feller, I think the latter one is more gender neutral than the former.
What I use is y'all or folks for plural, and dude for singular.
