Comment on is "oh boy" considered a gendered term?

Saying “Oh boy” in the way you would say “Oh my” or “Oh wow” is not gendered; you aren’t calling anyone around you “boy”, but rather saying it to yourself as an exclamation; just like how religious people say “Oh God!” or “Oh my God!”; if you said “Oh God”, you wouldn’t be calling the other person “God”.
