I'm surprised at them gender locking a race after the uproar it caused with Miqo'te and Roe. It's not worth quitting the game over however imo. You must like your current avatars, no? You don't like male Hrothgar or female Veira? Don't play them. You never know, they might end up patching in the opposite gender later like they did with Miqo/Roe anyways. (Unless the lore states the opposite gender does not exist, that would be awkward.)
