No, I'm positve that had NOTING to do with why he got gender-bended. There are two main reasons:

1) The popularity of Arthoria, the original gender-bender of the series. She was gender-bended reluctantly in order to fit the visual novel format and was given a reasonable explanation for why she is female and why people thought she was male. Due to her popularity though, they started Saberfacing left and right but realized that they just can't Saberface everybody so just stuck to gender-bending in general. In-game explanations for the gender-bends? They no longer cared and in their defense, it is no longer possible to make such explanations and attempts to do so would just seem contrived and make things even more ridiculous than they already are.

2) Most famous historical and mythical figures are male so if they didn't gender-bend, it would either be a sausage-fest or full of obscure female characters. Considering that the main audience is waifu-hunting males, why they needed to gender-bend is obvious. My bigger issue that getting gender-bended seems to increase a character's power by a TON. Though I guess I can see why the waifu-hunters would cause that trend as well; a waifu can't just be pretty, she has to be useful as well, ESPECIALLY since other than Mashu, there are no character/story developments for any of them.
