When I played EQ I knew guys who played female characters for precisely this reason.
My biggest problem isnt playing a female character when your a guy or vice versa, its '
ROLEPLAYING' them ie flirting, talking about your outfit, bending over in front of people, sending provocative tells etc. IMO this is the same as going into a chat room on yahoo and pretending to be a member of the opposite sex, even if you are exploring something its still lying to everyone else in that chatroom and you should not expect to have a real friendship with them if you ever tell them the truth. Any relationship you establish will be based on the assumption you are that particular gender and alot of assumptions are made based on that.
Good luck with your character in WoW, my advice would be to find a "serious roleplaying" guild in beta or first month of release and carve out a reputation for yourself as a roleplayer, this will help you solve alot of the problems that "shemale" characters encounter in-game.
