Honestly, nope - 8,5 years without breaks playing WoW on retail and various private servers, never lying about my gender ( yet not flaunting it either) I have heard nasty comments exactly twice. Both were just harmless kids who apologized after I put them in their place. It might be because I've had great guilds and in random encounters people just assume I'm male, but WoW has always been quite nice place for female players in my experience.
Edit: I forgot about one incident a few years back which was quite serious harrassment and had something to do with my gender. A guildie harassesed me in-game an elsewhere online for months before lashing out in guild chat while I was offline and getting promptly kicked. Surprising part? The harrasser was a 14 year old girl who thought I was trying to "steal her man" (= a 30 year old junkie and a drunk of a guildie) because I told him she was 14. He was embarrassed and thankful because he could have had some really serious trouble from some of the stuff he said when drunk. Needless to say I was much more amused than bothered by her raging
