I like this theory a lot. It would explain her slight multiple-personality disorder that she seems to have without any of the normal symptoms, as well as her actual hatred of the male gender. Symbolically, I'd like to add that with all these similarities to Kaneki, she could be also trying to change her story to be more noble, when in reality it is a lie, and she is an evil person. I didn't notice that she twisted her clothing in that frame though, and that definitely adds weight to this notion.

I doubt this will ever be confirmed concretely but we'll know if you were right if in the future Mutsuki embraces his inner insane, cruel nature and, by extension, also becomes a full woman. There is already evidence of this happening; when her hair turned white it also appears to have become longer to now hanging to look like a woman's, and she laughed hysterically at her memories of what she did. If this actually does end up happening it would add imense depth to her character.

The thing I love most about this character and Ishida's writing style is that it's all up for interpretation, and to this point we've had many of the peices to the puzzle but needed to see them all laid out before realizing why each peice was important. The person who replied before me is right, and people do tend to be overly-sensitive when it comes to gender identity, but I think that's a shame in this case because it could keep some people from realizing how complex this character and the symbolism surrounding him(/her) is!
