First of all, as far as I remember, there was no lore for female ronso to be out of sight or anything like that. So it makes even less sense for them to be gender locked than viera.

Secondly there were gender locked races in FFXI and from what I know this wasn't very well received. I think it would be a bad move to do it again. There is already enough controversy around gender locked gear in this game without having gender locked races.
It was poorly received, and if they did it again I see people being more mad than they already are at Blue Mage. People were mad enough that female au ra were wayyy different than males. They should not repeat any of this.
