I've thought about this myself (struggling with the Samus is a girl but it shouldn't matter thing) and I like this conclusion.

Are you just not comfortable playing as a female protagonist?

No, nothing like that. Game character and story don't matter to me because it's a projection of self, but I wanted to reconcile why other people who write/talk about the game were obsessed over Samus being female, yet emphasising female aspects of her character weakened Other M. Your post explains this.

Oh, I see. I apologize for being presumptive, and am glad that I could lend some context to that.
