i write using the opposite gender all the time. if you aren't already accounting for the things that make women different from men—environment, relationship with parents, fears and insecurities, etc.—then you're writing bad characters. this means that the people who say "it doesn't matter at all, just fill in the pronouns later" are exactly as stupid as people who say "write everything with gender at the forefront of your mind."

a woman is about as different from a man as a woman is different from a woman 100 years in the past. the biological difference is negligible.
