Check this out:

Company sued for not using PC pronouns
> A catering worker named Valeria Jones who claims to identify as NEITHER female nor male is suing Bon Appetit Management company for a half million dollars, because co-workers there dared to refer to her as female, even though she asked them not to. Valeria says she was called HIGHLY INSULTING THINGS like "miss," and "lady" but claims that those terms are unwelcome, because she's neither male nor female, and she prefers to be addressed with a gender neutral pronoun, which she does not list in her lawsuit.

Most people don't like "it" for their pronouns — I know of two that do.
