    I'm sorry if I upset you a bit... I was kinda half-joking with my remarks (you're not gonna get struggle-session'd to death) , but yeah, "it" sounds like type of pronoun transphobes use instead of "they", out of spite... let alone as a term for babies...

      It’s also a term that has been used historically to dehumanize oppressed groups and rob them of their humanity.

      If someone wants to take “it” as their pronoun, that’s fine for them but it should never be applied by others onto someone as it’s dehumanizing.
