The neuter pronoun ("it") doesn't work for humans in English either.

Yeah, but in English you don't go around and label EVERYTHING with the other two genders (only if you're a bit weird and pretend your car is a she or something) and our they is the same as the female pronoun (sie), which makes that unusable as well.
