Difference among "my god", "my gosh" and "my goodness"?
Difference among "my god", "my gosh" and "my goodness"? I heard that "my gosh" is only for female to use, is that right?

Anybody can use those phrases. As Zach said, some people don't say God and may find it rude. Taking the Lord's name in vain (saying oh God! or God damnit! or oh my God!) is often censored and restricted on TV and radio. However, in casual talk, "oh God!" is most common (at least in the North). To be safe, you can say "oh gosh!" or "oh my gosh!"

Same for my goodness being a replacement.

That is common but can all be used. "My God" can be disrespectful to some people because God is part of Christianity. My gosh is used as a replacement.
