I would say that since women have a dominant right brain, while men are dominant left, usually, of course, and that this dominance seems to be a factor of hormone levels, that as long as you have electronic hormones to control the sense of masculinty/femininity, then as long as you have modules for all cognitive functions in an upload, no matter what the gender is, allowing the electronic hormones to dictate the use and dominance, then there should not be any prblem between the two.
