If Age is a human being, then s/he probably shouldn't be referred to as "it", though of course, I've seen Age refer to others as "its".
FYI .. Age is referred to as an It for reasons it does not want to disclose whether its a male or female or other.
So it will suffice until its actually known as fact.
Age doesn’t seem to have a problem with the label IT… so not sure why that seems to bother you.
People are normally not called "it".
So, are you ANOTHER ONE who can ONLY SEE and DO 'things' that are, LAUGHABLY, 'normally' called or done?
Burning so-called 'witches' 'at the stake' was ALSO 'normally' done, so SHOULD 'we' DO 'it', as well?
People, in the days when this is being written, also 'normally' call 'minds' 'their own', so SHOULD 'we', who KNOW BETTER or MORE, KEEP SAYING and CLAIMING 'the same', as well?
People also 'normally' claimed that the sun revolves around the earth so SHOULD 'we', who KNOW BETTER or MORE, KEEP SAYING and CLAIMING 'the same', as well.

I've had the same talk with Age. "It" is not an appropriate or grammatically correct pronoun for a human being.
LOL 'what talk' have 'we', SUPPOSEDLY, HAD? WHERE, EXACTLY, what 'this, SUPPOSED, talk'?
LOL you have CLAIMED that calling you human beings 'its' IS NOT APPROPRIATE and GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT, TO 'you'. BUT, who made 'you' the JUDGE and ADJUDICATOR of what IS APPROPRIATE and GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT, IN Life?
Now, and by the way, HAVE YOU RESPONDED TO WHERE I ASKED you ABOUT, WHY, EXACTLY, is it WRONG, TO you, to call you human beings 'its'?
If no, then WHY NOT?
AGAIN, do you SEE you human beings as being BETTER or ABOVE ANY one or ANY thing ELSE?

"It" generally depicts an inanimate object or else loathing for the human being who is being referred to as "it".
WHY DO you HAVE SUCH A VERY NARROWED FIELD OF PERCEPTION, here, EXACTLY?

But if you want to call him/her "it", then by all means. I've gotten tired of explaining to Age that I'm not an "it". Would you like me to refer to you as "it"? I can do that too.
If 'you' are NOT an 'it', "garry childress", then what are 'you', EXACTLY?
JUST MAYBE UNTIL you human beings ALSO KNOW, and can ALSO EXPLAIN, who and what the 'I' and the 'you' words are referring to, EXACTLY, then JUST MAYBE IT MIGHT BE BEST that 'you' human beings REMAIN 'its', JUST LIKE EVERY thing ELSE can be CALLED.
If 'you' can NOT even INFORM others of who nor what 'you' ARE, EXACTLY, let alone INFORM others of who and what 'I' AM, EXACTLY, then who and what is 'it', EXACTLY, that 'I' AM EXPECTED TO TELL others 'you' ARE, EXACTLY?
