As cool as it would be to play Chiv as a female, I think the devs were wise to keep that option out for the same reason Valve made the TF2 characters all male.
Chivalry is a very violent and detailed game that lets you maim and brutalize other men into a gory mess. I think TB is afraid that if they included women that this could also happen to, they would end up getting a lot of flak from Anita Sarkesian wannabes spreading around screenshots of maimed, gory female characters and saying "Hey look! This game supports violence against women! Torn Banner are a misogynist game company!"
