Legitimate trope, but could use a better title: It Is Dehumanizing

Came across this trope quite a while ago, and thought it was quite interesting. Stumbled over it again just now, and discovered that the page has barely grown at all. (""It" Is Dehumanizing found in: 22 articles, excluding discussions. This title has brought 47 people to the wiki from non-search engine links since 20th FEB '09.") The problem is probably with the rather awkward title, and while adding punctuation ("It"Is Dehumanizing) would be a decent solution, I'd like to ask if anyone has a better suggestion.

I'd say that a custom punctuated title would be best. I can't see any other title for this.

Supporting a punctuated custom title.

But this isn't about dehumanizing things, but the use of "it" for humans. The title should be: "It" is dehumanizing.
