1) I play male or female characters near randomly; most campaigns have sidelined "personal stuff" components, so the choice is pretty trivial. I default to male, because it's easier and I don't have to worry about bad/sterotypical portrayals making me look like a sexist stooge.
Sometimes a concept just comes as a total package; my D&D bard was inspired by Rune, a female singer in a Lackey Book.
2) High school and college groups were completely male. Since then, the balance has been much better. Wil's group is MMMFF, while the Saturday night group is MMMMMFF.
