Agreed that there's so many questions right now.

Like I've said before, I definitely expected the standard "crossdressing girl" narrative when we got the cliffhanger in chapter 4. It seemed the most likely answer at that point, since that's a popular character type. But the available information doesn't really match that idea.

But it makes sense that Mutsuki is still physiologically female, since the necessary medical procedures are not only illegal in Japan before the age of 20 but not covered by any health care in the country. So it would have required CCG to not only bend major rules and hand out major cash, but to do so without any benefit to them. (I think we know enough to conclude they aren't that generous to the employees.)
