To be honest, Mutsuki's narrative seems to run the exact opposite of Kanae's story.

Karren took up a male identity for the sake of others, and suffered while denying her true self.

In contrast, Mutsuki is someone that took the chance to embrace his feelings and live as he wanted. We see that he was punished for it at the Academy, but never gave into the social pressure and continued living as he wanted. And since the Auction, he's gotten super-confident but clearly continues with a male presentation. If Mutsuki were going to start presenting as female, it would have been after that -- major emotional break-thru, teammate learns the truth, ect. But instead, Mutsuki still presents as in a masculine fashion and seems happier that way.
