I urge restraint in changing the words. And I can not think of a single reason why it would ever be necessary to change the gender of a song. THen the next person comes around and makes changes to change it back, not knowing the original song...it gets ugly. I do believe that changes are necessary when it comes to very offensive lyrics and even very awkward lines...but I believe in never changing the gender. Prefer that location not be changed either..
