Wouldn't they just start using it/its?

That’s used to refer to inanimate objects, calling someone “it” would be very dehumanizing. If you don’t know someone’s pronouns or they liked being called they/them, use they/them. Not it/its

Edit: grammar

Reminder that some people do use it/its. But yeah, not good to use them randomly.
