If you really don't mind waiting to decide on your character, it would be very nice if you could! At least we can wait and see generally what other people are planning.
But really I have no problems with you playing a female character (and at this point I don't see there being an issue at all) as long as we don't get overwhelmed by that one gender.
What say you,

I guess I've always been a little (overly) hesitant about too many female characters in certain games (and playing certain roles)...I have gotten better, though!
