That IS a gender change, from masculine to neuter
BTW it looses it's paternal and parental meaning. No Father to child relationship for us. It makes little sense
It also eliminates any idea that Jesus is the Son Of God...
Mat 23:9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
Really? To be consistent we'd have to pervert both words to Creator. Is that really what Jesus meant?
We can no longer cry "Abba!" because of the feminists and their liberal supporters.
Inheriting the Father's kingdom loses meaning
Maybe some liberal can demand "If Jesus can't have a Father, why should anyone else? Let's remove any and all mention of fathers and mothers"...
Rom 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the
Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"

2Co 6:18 and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty."

Gal 4:3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world.
Gal 4:4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,
Gal 4:5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
Gal 4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
Gal 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Loses it's meaning
Col 1:3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
Loses it's meaning
Heb 1:5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"?
Loses it's meaning
Heb 12:9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
