I never really gave it much thought until reading this thread and the responses have been interesting. For myself, I could care less which gender, if they try to hide their gender by using initials, which is no different to me than using a pseudonym. Many authors do it. Dean Koontz even used Deanna Dwyer as a pseudonym to pay the bills.
If the plot interests me and the reviews are decent, I'll read it. Doesn't matter if male or female author, with or without initials, with or without a pseudonym. Once I like an author's book, I'm very likely to pick up and read more by the same author.
Name or gender just doesn't matter in the choice for me at all.
