You literally called another human being "it". Seems like you got what you deserve.

I reserve the vile habit of referring to people/personas as "it" only for a certain type of individual who attacks others based on identity whilst using identity politics as their personal shield.

This behavior is irregardless of their purported identity or orientation, beliefs-- it is me signalling staunch refusal to engage in any form of identity nuance when I have only ever seen them use identity in bad faith.

I can recall only two personas I go out of my way to refer to in this manner-- I can't promise that I wouldn't refer to anyone else similarly, but I hope everyday that I may never come across more who earn the distinction.
