Out of all the options you presented, these are honestly the only two viable ones. A is literally just giving up, which, if you were going to pick that, you would've already done it a long time ago. B on the other hand has no complete chance of any changes, as you could easily just end up back in the exact same situation you're in now.C.)Not hate on Male Teacher Female Student Grap-(Yeah that's not a real option. The real one isMake his threads and stories exclusive to dudes writing as chicks or make it all inclusive to both female writers and male writers playing as female to yield better results?
D.) Shut the fuck up and be patient (although I barely have zero patience left), there's always a diamond in the rough?
In my opinion, C is likely your best choice. I honestly don't understand the mentality of "the person behind the character must be the same gender" nonsense. You're roleplaying as a character, not as yourself. Why does the IRL gender of the person matter so much? If they can play the role convincingly enough, who cares what they got downstairs behind the keyboard? Last I checked, roleplaying is supposed to be a type of collaborative writing. You're not trying to date the person behind the character...or I at least hope you're not, because that'd be a bit weird.
However, if you are still insistent that the person behind the monitor must be an IRL woman and you refuse to budge on that point no matter what, then you literally only have one option, and that's D. You may end up waiting 3.000 years to get your desired result, but if you feel you can't do roleplays unless the character and real person are the same gender, then unless you diversify your base of operations, you'll have to gain saint-like patience.
If all else fails, you could do Option A, but in my opinion, I'd feel that'd be a waste. Even though I can't stand real world settings since they bore me, you got some pretty alright ideas going from what I've seen from lurking around, and it'd be a shame for those to be lost to the ether.
EDIT: Going back to that point earlier about "the person must be an IRL woman," how would you prove they are what they say they are? People lie on the internet all the time, and unless you request proof, it'd just seem weird making assumptions about one's gender.
