Do the songs actually make the gender of the subject vs the singer clear? If a woman was singing it, would those tropes still be seen from the lyrics? If not, then yeah they should be removed.
So to my knowledge, Sam Smith is now gender-neutral (not a he or she) and asjshfsdf has removed my edits from the page with no edit reason, I am presuming because he is no longer a "man" or "male".
But these are examples about his songs not about him as a person, but since Smith's music has been mostly gender-neutral, I'm conflicted on whether the examples should stay. As I presumed when he was still a male when he made the song, it was written from a male perspective, but maybe his music was always from an ambiguous perspective the whole time? Thoughts?
