I usually think of the character's background and the general impression visually I want them to have before deciding their sex. Sometimes it's almost a coin flip.
Granted, this is probably because I tend to favor certain plot or character motifs, and those motifs are pretty independent of being a particular sex. They can interact or be informed by it, but things like obligation, inability to conform, revenge, etc, don't stick to one or the other specifically. I can do this because my interests allow me to, and I can see how others might have story focuses that complicate things.
Originally when I picked up FFXIV though, I picked Lala because they're cute, but unlike Tera, I wouldn't get creeped on for being Elin. I wanted to play a female character, but I was aware that sort of thing would happen if I did. =_=
