Would a Female Aslan be Theologically Sound?

Did Lewis want his readers to think deeply about theology or just accept it by faith that Aslan was male? The Narnia books are not works of theology but fictional stories so I am inclined to think it was faith. Also, the audience was mainly children along with some adults who read children’s books. So if the books are not considered textbooks for pastors studying for the ministry Lewis’ readers should simply accept and embrace the idea that Aslan is male just as he is Jesus without getting into theological debates over the issue. There is actually no need to argue points of theology with Narnia. You can just believe that Lewis wrote the Chronicles in a certain way without arguing the theology.
