If you find it difficult or daunting to RP a gender that isn't your own, you're probably just psyching yourself out. The differences are subtle and probably matter less in Eorzea than they do in real life. Without getting political, I'm struggling to think about anything that my gender specifically affects in my everyday life. I guess I walk outside at night alone less than my male friends? But that's not true for all women in all places, so I don't know. Just write a person first.
That said, I do choose to RP mostly women simply because I'm just usually more excited about good female characters in fiction than I am about men.
