"Folks" is one of very few words we have that are gender-neutral for
plural second person.

“You” is second person plural, gender neutral. It’s also a pronoun.

“Folks” is a noun, not a pronoun. Nouns have no “person” in English.  It can be replaced with “people”, “parents”, or “family", depending on context - all of.which are also gender neutral nouns,
