I originally thought about “and everyone in between”, but it does not sit well with me.
To borrow from the YouTube channel Ceave Gaming,
“Gentle ladies, Gentle men, and Gentle people in general.”

Dear siblings,
Y’all,
Lads, ladies, and ladles
“ladies, gentlemen and cyborgs” thanks Zack Friedman
“fine folk and scoundrels”
“those who want me or want to be me”
OI CUNTS!!!
I see someone is fluent in Australian.
I would consider the context to get the correct formal register.
For an event with people of equal station and no elevation of class - “Hello everybody, how are we all tonight?”
For closer friends a simple greeting works best - “Friends! May I have your attention?”
If you are in a close group of Australians - “Oi cunts! Shut up for a sec!”
And if you are in a group including any billionaires just sharpen the guillotine and don’t give them any warning.
I was always partial to kenji alt lopez’ “guys, gals and non-binary pals” phrase
Just “Esteemed guests” or “Distinguished guests”.
Or if you insist, “Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone else gathered here tonight:”
That could be interpreted as an insult.
Yo bastards.
I don’t know the context, but, to me, unless gender is relevant or important to the discussion, it doesn’t need to be mentioned.
My interpretation is the same as “I don’t need to know the race of everyone involved.”
Distinguished guests
Theydies and mentlegen if you wanna confuse people
Ladies, gentlemen, and beyond!
Replace it with “Esteemed guests” or similar, for the same level of formality.
Listen up shitheads!
Hello, my victims
