I would suggest looking down at Old McDonald's comments in the below thread, since it has some discussion of the actual Japanese. There seems to be some major ambiguity and uncertainty going on, quite possibly to the degree of Mutsuki not even being certain of his own identity.

But honestly, arguing that Mutsuki should act like Shirazu is false. Mutsuki isn't Shirazu, they have very different personalities and different reactions to the same things. Mutsuki is uncomfortable, and tends to internalize when he's uncomfortable with something. Shirazu acts out. But we can all agree, either way, that this particular situation left Mutsuki feeling distressed.

I think it's too early to write everything off as "Mutsuki is afraid of dudes", because he's clearly not normally afraid of them. But this situation, involving wearing women's clothing and being in a club where women naturally get hit on, caused him to become upset. He clearly doesn't like being viewed that way, especially after what just happened to him.
