None.
It does not matter what gender you are - that has nothing to do with the classification. It is the story and intended audience that matters. That is
all that matters. Publishers do not care at all about your gender. What they do care about is popularity and sales - ie. A shoujo publisher will not publish someone just because they`re female, even though the majority of their artists are female... This is even more true with shounen publishers - there are plenty of female artists who have no problem being published and successful.
It doesn`t matter if the manga is good. That is what publishers care about - making money off of you.
