Exactly
"Personal pronouns (words like I, you, he, she, it, we, they) indicate the possessive by becoming a whole new word. These new words are already possessive, so they don't need an apostrophe: my, mine, your, yours, his, her, hers, its, our, ours, their, theirs. Note that none of them has an apostrophe."
So when jaffers wrote "it's guts" he was wrong. He was indicating a possessive pronoun. No apostrophe.
