Do you have difficulty writing about the opposite sex?

I have a female protagonist.

Like Barbara, I have male and female protagonists and I don't think I do have a problem. In fact, I enjoy writing from a female pov - more of a challenge to get it right, I suppose! My last one was blind from birth, as well, which was very difficult...

Being a male, I obviously find it easier to describe male protagonists, but I have had important female characters in my stories.

I would however, like to push myself a bit further and write something with a female as the main character.
