quite simply the female version of "guys,” from the greek root "-gyn-“, used to informally address a group of women— which, funnily enough, most people nowadays never even knew existed!
although “gyn” is still a rather unpopular term, it is particularly used by a lot of radical feminists/radfems when referring to their female friends/mutuals on social media. it’s overall a good option for anyone to use when addressing a women in a casual or friendly manner. would definitely be cool to see it normalised within the english language more!
