I guess it'd depend on the prevalence of gender in the song. If it's not a major focus, nobody's gonna care or notice, but if you got the chorus or some loud lines bringing up that identity it's probably best to change it. Not out of fear of being seen as something you're not, just for the sake of the audience and ensuring they can focus on the main point.

I know I'd be pretty annoyed if I was enjoying myself headbanging to a song and then had to hear a dude say 'I'm just a young girl with dreams' or some ****. I'd bust out laughing, sure, but it'd totally ruin what was previously meaningful.
