If the story is well written with interesting characters and situations, I don't care if the lead character is male, female, Betan hermaphrodite, Gethenian ambisexual or other variant (Puppeteer bride, anyone?) unless that gender is in some way relevant to the storyline. In the vast majority of the books I read, I find worrying about the lead character's gender is as meaningless as worrying about the author's gender.
