Two things: Don't misgender people, even the worst, and if you're going to then at least get the pronoun correct. It would be "its", it's means it is, it's not a posessive.

Ha! I see my error, will change it.

What pronouns are wrong there? Feels like valid English to me.

People get there and their wrong all the time.

We already explained, but if we must spell it out: "it is advantage" doesn't make any sense in this context.

Also, the pronouns are wrong because they're misgendering her.

As far as I know you would use it in conjunction with the gendered asshole as you personify the person with a thing that has a neuter gender. In German it would have been correct independent of the gender of the person.

Sure, would have still been its not it's though.

True, but I have grown to accept those typos.
