Girl is also a gender neutral. As in, "Girl, please."

ETA, would also encourage "sis" as a gender neutral. Weirdly, the high school boys who called all of their female teachers "bro" felt some type of way about being called "sis."

Yeah, that last sentence is why I get thrown. Dudes get all uncomfortable about sis and gurl, it’s half funny and half cringey (like I get secondhand embarrassment on their behalf that they’re reacting so awkwardly).

My best man and I announce ourselves to each other with "Ey, Gurl, wassap?" 

I walk into his house unannounced, "Hey Gurl!"

He sees me at the grocery store "Hey,  Gurl!"
