The problem is, is that I'm a girl and it's likely no one wants to do roleplay with someone basically pretending to be a guy.

There's actually a 1x1 check for a FxM romance where the OP wants to play their female character along side a male character played by a woman. So go figure. 

The only people who flip out over cross play are certain (read: not all) people looking to do erotic roleplays. I guess the idea is that they either A: like the idea that the player on the other side might be enjoying what they are doing to their character or B: They are insecure about their sexuality. Since it doesn't sound like that's what you're looking for, you've got nothing to worry about.
