"I thought the name would be the most difficult part," Jaime said.
"You wouldn't believe how many times I said 'she.' I started calling
it that rotten little three-letter word. And I'd be so embarrassed,
especially if he brought a girlfriend home. It was so awful, I felt so
bad."

Wow. We're not "it's." Anyone who has the balls to call me an "it" is in for some serious pain. We are most certainly not confused about our genders.

Well, the "it" the writer was referring to is the three-letter word "she," not Kip, the person. The mother was peeved off at herself for using the wrong pronoun.
