I am not a native English speaker so I may be missing a word, but at least to me the catch-alls would by guys and girls. "I was speaking to a guy" vs. "I was speaking to a girl" is the exact same line and meaning just with different genders to me.
Ahhh the beauty of English. Lol. Generally you can refer to females as "girl" if you are also referring to males as "guy" or "boy," the only difference is that contextually, "girl" is also used as an insult to demean a female by implying immaturity more often than "boy" is used to demean males. I don't think that was the case in the post, but, text does not convey tone or intention.
