YOU CAN SAY THAT IN HEXBEAR, AND LEAVE THAT TOPIC FOR YOUR STRUGGLE SECESSIONS, BUT YOU SHALL NOT CALL THE BABY AN “IT” IN REAL LIFE… THAT IS A REDDITORISM AND A LIBERALISM OF THE HIGHEST OFFENSE AND I’M SURE THAT MAO WOULD’VE PERSONALLY STRUGGLE SECESSION-D YOU TO DEATH

Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you think I’m actually calling the baby “it” - I was/am joking, it’s more obvious when I’m adding tone and body language to the spurious logic so I sometimes miss the mark online.
IRL I don’t think young children should be gendered (let kids just be kids), but I’m not actually campaigning for babies to be considered objects.

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.
