People where I am from call everyone "you guys" - men, women, trans, doesn't matter, everyone is just "you guys" even when it's a woman addressing a group of women.
The literal meaning isn't gender neutral, but in actual practice, it 100% is.
As for "y'all" or "you all", I don't see how it could possibly be interpreted as offensive to any gender.
I think "we don't take kindly to y'all" to a trans person would likely be offensive. Beyond that though, you're probably okay.
"yall" is obviously not the problematic part of that sentence
