There are women playing women, women playing men, men playing women, men playing men. That's standard, of course, because many people join the SCA so they can be something that they're not in real life.
The fun part (and sometimes confusing) is when a person is dressed as their opposite gender, but playing their own gender. That is, a woman whose persona is a female cross-dresser, as opposed to a woman playing an actual man. (Or a man playing a male cross-dresser instead of playing a female.) Just try to learn discreetly and politely what someone's intention is. I've often been delighted to hear something like, "History is filled with people who concealed the gender of their bodies in order to live as the gender of their souls. I'm not a transsexual in my real life, but I think it's important that that side of history should be told." The folks who choose to do that are usually very cool to talk to, and often very thoughtful, and/or have something in their lives who is living trans; some try to honor those folks, and some try to better understand them, and some are working out their own feelings by sort of testing the waters before making a life choice.
But yes, absolutely, it's permitted, and often appreciated.

I can think of one of each gender who do it and do it well and they are awesome. They are treated as their persona's gender and no one bats an eye. But I'd like to make one point. They were both Tudor. There are a few teenage girls I'd like to smack clear out of the society, not so much because they don't wear female garb, but because they wear a mediocre tunic and leggings, sometimes a tunic, leggings and a bodice (okay, that was my friend's girlfriend who pissed me off this weekend by tagging along to an event with him, half-assing her garb, and not really doing anything but hanging with him, and making him hang with her away from his other friends confused Gee, when I think about it that way, it explains why I was cross with her) or some such, and will give you a lengthy tirade about how you can't do anything in skirts and how much skirts suck if you suggest they get more authentic garb. I mean, most of the guys are wearing tunics long enough to be considered dresses! Get over it! My point is, whatever you do, do it whole-heartedly and panache.
