I think if we'll start playing as a female character, the modern day protagonist would have to be female as well. Starting a whole new storyline, like they're doing with Daniel Cross now. Otherwise, if they'd continue with Desmond, we'll get a very manly female Assassin as she'd have to look like Desmond just like Altaïr and Ezio do.
