I know you ain't hatin', but...

Gender fluid or Gender neutral's a bunch of things, but it's pretty much never "it" (unless someone specifically requests). "It" is reserved for inanimates."They/them" is pretty standard neuter across English and the Romance Languages (Italian, French, Spanish).

Just because you think it's a phase for this person doesn't mean it's not daily life for a bunch of people.
