If you have trouble deciding, settle this like a gamer.

Seeing as you are supposed to be investing into a character as if it was you in Destiny this sounds like a terrible idea.

Ha! With that logic everyone should be a human and their actual gender.

This kind of thing is pretty standard role-playing fare. I don't know about others, but I rarely play a character as "myself". My Noble Six was not "me", nor was my Rookie. (They were "Six" and "The Rookie", respectively.)

I find the most enjoyment in crafting a story around my character as I experience the adventure through them.

And I don't mind using chance to decide a few things for me when I can't decide what to pick. I've done this before, and it has been instrumental in creating some interesting characters that I would never have created otherwise.
