Ah sorry I should have elaborated more. So in English politically correct culture calling transgender people "it" is not considered OK. Things that are "it" aren't people. You can use they/them or refer to the person or group by name. I'd say it's maybe a tick or two below dropping the n-bomb or using whatever the racist term du jour is for a some group. It's not at the same level because a lot of people still don't know that using "it" implies that someone doesn't have personhood. There are people who refer to transgender persons as "it" in anger and disgust because they don't want to acknowledge someone else's choice of gender and the things that drive that decision like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoria. Caveat. I am really not an expert at the whole transgender thing. I'm as tall, cis, white, and male as they come.
