    she/it

    Because you, as an English speaking human, apply the default gender rules to their sex as a language norm.

    It’s not complicated. It’s almost like you’re being deliberately dense for some reason.

      My original half joking comment was about mosquitos not having any concept of language. Somehow you’ve made that into an issue about people misgendering my cat, something which my cat does not care or even know about. If someone refers to my cat as the “wrong” pronouns, I don’t bother correcting them because, again, it’s a cat who has no interest in such things.
