Paloma Faith doesn’t think gender will exist in the near future.
The singer/songwriter recently made headlines when she revealed she doesn’t apply stereotypical gender rules to her children, however says she’s simply preparing them for the modern world. She said: “Society is so backward that it feels like a big statement, but it shouldn’t be.
