In the manga Motoko has both boyfriends (and she apparently has wild monkey sex with them) and also female friends-with-benefits. In SAC she has the female friends-with-benefits but also goes on record saying that once she loved Kuze (a guy) and even aside of that she has that pretty strong sexual tension and will-they-won't-they relationship with Batou.
What if Makoto, due to her history of growing up in a cyborg body from a very young age, doesn't really see the need to distinguish between male and female and is therefore interested in both? Could that not be an interesting detail that adds to her character?
