Mike,
The reason I talked of a 'robust' female voice is that the mass of the vocal folds would have to be high enough to enable the singer to achieve a high enough closed quotient (= percentage of time the glottis is closed), to really sound like a tenor. I agree with you that the technique could be used by less robust voices as well, but I guess it would be less efficient.
