So your objection is the penis (BTW, didn't we agree on the term "snakes"?) Presumably after the penis is is gone "she" is o.k.?
A momentary diversion into the absurdity of the word "it". Firstly, the romance languages don't really use it...there is a female it and a male it....somehow a house is female and a car is male...last I recall the house didn't have it's penis excised. El, ella/esso,essa/ele, ela. Where one falls and the other one doesn't, is purely a human construction. Second, in English the use of the word "it" is very broad. It (haha!) can describe my dog, though my dog can also be described as "him". It can refer to a bridge, a house, a pencil, a planet, a star, something which isn't even physical like math, an idea, a story, or a feeling, and living things such as the tree, bacteria, fish, even birds. Curiously our line seems to be mammals. So why are mammals a he or a she but everything else is an "it"? Why aren't we all its? Why does our gender even need to be reflected in a pronoun, if the distinction is we are all human (or mammals) or we are all things. If it's just a shorthand, why distinguish between a man and a woman in the pronoun rather than just be human, or like the romance language ascribe male and female to pretty much everything??? Hope I made you at least go "hmmmmm".
