I got the impression that early on, most of the characters were male. It may well be that this isn't the case later in the book, by which time I'd started skimming.
Breq might not care about the character's sex, but philmophlegm did. And yes, I also wanted to know about tall/short, fat/thin etc, and these weren't mentioned either. They might not be vital to the plot, but they help to build up a picture, and for me that's important when reading fiction. YMMV.
