I can't fathom why it's so bad for a man to play a female character. As far as I'm concerned its about aesthetics anyway.
I chose a female night elf because I thought the male NE models were a bit naff. At least the male Blood Elf models look like a male elf should i.e gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrus oxide!
10pts if you can spot where that quote comes from...

Gay does not necessarily mean homosexual, in this case it probably means happy.
However, as the word gay has dual meanings nowadays, its a play on words.
However, if you do require further clarification, I would suggest asking Terry Pratchett as I quoted the book he wrote with Neil Gaiman; Good Omens.

Gay as in happy and jolly
I like the phrase "camper than a row of pink tents".
I consider the alliance male humans/draenei/nelf to generally be too bulky for anything other that warriors and pallys. The only reason I picked female for Roo is because I couldn't resist the cuteness:)

At the risk of returning to topic...
OK here's my 2 pence (it would be 2 cents but I am not american. Besides it might be my 2 euros at some point but that's a completely different discussion.....Where was I? Oh yeah).
Men playing women in RPG's. I have no problem with this. In fact when playing RPG's, I usually go for the female skins myself. It's not because I want to be a woman. To be honest if I had boobs, I'd never get any work done. It's just a point of Astetics (Oh I wish I had a spell checker now). When playing a game in third person, you are looking at your character a lot of, if not all, of the time. It makes sense that you would choose something to look at that is pleasing to the eye. Generally games designers use very stereotypical models for their figures. Basically if you think of it as an extension of drawn animation this makes sense. The reason all the early drawn animated characters had only 4 fingers was pure because it looked better than drawing five. Anyway, with this in mind, male characters tend to be a bit Rambo (macho) and female characters (to me) seem a little more fluid. This isn't nessecarily the case nowadays but I have been playing games since before DOOM on the PC and therefore have seen the evolution of animation in the computer form. I still remember being freaked out by the first Tomb Raider because of the fluidity of the character movement (though it help that she had a nice rack). Sorry for the sexism but I'm a guy and maybe a bit more honest than most.
Another part of this is vocalisation. Going back to Tomb Raider, the voice was very much a part of the animation process. I have known Celsan for years and he used to play a woman in Delta Force for purely vocal reasons. In multiplayer, if you managed to get behind someone and knife them, they where able to hear a vocalisation before respawning. It was bad enough being knifed in the back but when you hear a girls voice saying "Loser!" it really put the macho part of the game in perspective. That said I think he just liked winding up people online.
Anyway, there's my thoughts on the subject.
