      Large eyes are a neotenous feature

      If the cishet gender-switchers were all chomos then they'd sport 3000 year old dragon loli avatars, so I don't think neoteny is the primary function here. More likely large eyes serve a utility function being highly expressive. But the shape is also an indicator of health, they don't have bug-eyed, hairy, bloodshot, cataract clouded eyes for good reason.

      It’s not that people like to interact with beautiful/cute people. It’s that men like to interact with beautiful/cute women.

      There's really no need to genderize this behavior. People of both genders are more likely to ignore a wheelchair bound leper avatar in favor of interacting with an anime cat girl, gay/hetero/cis or not.
