I've seen plenty of people saying just the opposite. What lines exactly don't work (that can't be gender swapped)
It just felt like she was describing Shepard like knight on white horse.

This argument is flawless. Astounding.
I didn't said it's good argument.

Does the fact that these females are turians not matter?
Does what he says about not going for humans not matter? Does the fact that Shepard has to hit on him first before he even thinks of Shepard that way. Not matter?
He brags about is scars? What? Did we *listen* to the same conversation? It was a joke not a brag. The sex with a female turian was a brag but also an info dump about how turians dealt with tension on a military vessel (the fighting bit) he told Shep because he/she is a friend. And regardless last I checked femshep there's a high chance that femshep doesn't look remotely like a female turian.
Seemed like little bragging to me.
And I already said Garrus is nervous with FemShep.
It would be way worse with ManShep.

I don't think you appreciate that the gap between male and female humans is so minute compared to the gap between humans and turians, physiologically and behaviourally, as to be trivial.
Garrus himself says he isn't attracted to Shepard for her appearance. It's the character behind the squishy human form that he likes. Human gender roles mean literally nothing to an alien.
How you know that?

Siha is a female term, yes, so it wouldn't work with males.
That doesn't preclude Thane from showing an interest in Shepard of either gender. Again, alien gender roles are different to humans. They're not even remotely comparable.
Again, how do you know that?

None of that means these characters should be, or are, bisexual. But if Bioware chooses to allow romances with them in ME3 with a Shepard of either gender, there's literally no reason why - realistically and in the confines of the universe - it can't take place.
You're making the assumption that aliens behave like humans with a funny mask on. This isn't the case. We know literally next to nothing about quarian, drell or turian psychology, let alone the complexity of romantic attraction.
And how you do know they are like not like that?
Also we saw many aliens that act like humans.
