Thanks for the feedback, and I can totally understand why a female would prefer to play as a female. That said, this story happens to be about a male character.
It's possible that in the future we will create a story with a female protagonist, and while we certainly understand your preference and regret that we couldn't cater to it in this game, I wouldn't change Tomb Raider to a male protag even if I could. It's Lara Croft's story, and millions of male players have been content to see her story play out through her eyes.
