Krishna - a female character?

This is all about the Lord Krishna, an Hindu Mythical figure. This post is about him, particularly as a character, not as a god.

Somehow I got a feeling that Krishna is a female character, from my recent experiences.. Or I should state that the probability of Krishna being a male character is not convincing.. here are my arguments for that:

a) There is a story in Mahabharat that, Krishna married Aaravan, Arjun's son. How could Krishna can marry a male? By dates, Mahabharat should occured before 2500 years. Definitely, before 2500 no one would have capability of sexual transformation. So there is a possibility that either of them is a female, but being portrayed as males.

b) We went to Coorg a year back, and got to see one painting of Krishna, where he was portrayed as a girl. Oh no, thats not modern art. Thats a classical painting. So there is a sect of the society who see Krishna a female.

c) And this argument is a week argument: I have met couple of girls (my school mates) who are named as Krishna. (It is simply Krishna, no additional names to it).

d) Ayyappa: He is the child of Shiva and Vishnu. Once again this questions....

e) And in many other places, Krishna is disguised as beautiful girl, and traps Asuras...

I know I sound rubbish for all the Hindu-believers, but these are just my thoughts..
