Based on his comments in the flashback, and what I've seen in terms of discussion by fans that are Japanese-literate, the phrasing he uses suggests Mutsuki was never comfortable identifying as female. Since the scene seems to take place when Mutsuki was still very young (14-ish), the implication seems to be that it isn't an issue of thinking being a girl is bad/makes you weak/societal pressure. But rather, the issue is his own comfort with his identity and at this point we don't know enough concerning his status as related to transitioning.
