Some celebrants have a hard time acknowledging the sex of certain deities and beings. For instance, some priests at my church modify parts of the Eucharistic prayer. Some change “…through Him, with Him, in Him. In the unity of the Holy Spirit…” to “…through Christ, with Christ, in Christ. In the unity of the Holy Spirit…” It’s a subtle change, but people notice. I even heard one priest modify part of the Baptismal vows: Instead of the usual “Do you reject Satan, father of sin and prince of darkness?”, he said “Do you reject Satan, master of sin and ruler of darkness?” The next thing you, they’ll start saying “In the name of the Parent, the Offspring, and the Holy Spirit.” :-)
