There's a significant subculture of lesbian/"yuri" Kris/Noelle and Kris/Susie stuff, which reinforces my point about "identifying" with Kris and viewing their experiences with your own lens. Many of those people would not be attached to Kris's romances through the lens of male attraction. Not as many people would identify with Kris if they were explicitly a male (or female) (or something else) and had those associated experiences they couldn't as easily relate to.
