Babies in the neuter gender - Don’t care from where it comes. I don’t refer to babies as “it.” From my point of view, it cedes something to the enemy.
We could discuss the derivation of the idea that children are “neuter”, Site, if you wish. It actually ties into their being “above” such considerations, above being viewed as sexual beings, and directly related to their innocense.
Having said that, I thoroughly understand your point, given the war over words in our culture. We do not live in a Judeo-Christian culture any longer.
