One of the female players in my old unit told me she tries to avoid VOIP in solo queue, and will sometimes use a voice changer, simply because of all the crap other players will give her just because she's a girl.
TBH, this does not surprise me in the least. The one time I heard a definitely female voice over the comms, half the team was swooning (pretty much the same stuff you see in the comments under one of Tina's devlog videos...nothing offensive). In Dota, where I've heard more female voices on the comms, they still felt the need to say at some point "I know, right? Girls play video games!" Having to say that/deal with that every time I jumped into a game would get real old real fast. I'd probably use a voicechanger too.
