About Mutsuki being 'trouble', one could argue that, like for many others, we don't know much about him, so we have no idea if his main issue was (and still is) his gender identity, or if there's something a bit... less pleasant underneath his gentle self. The fact that his character has so many hints and reminders of the original Kaneki associated to him (fairly meek and gentle, can't control his kakugan, took a while to control his powers, very similar eyepatched mask, is the target of a sick psycho and is getting tortured or worse by them) kinda suggests Ishida's plans.

Then again, one could also argue that Tokage, being the unpleasant fellow he is, simply called Mutsuki 'trouble' because the latter was difficult to handle due to him being trans (there's a panel in the earlier chapters with other Academy pupils calling him a 'queer' within earshot, so the sentiment wasn't probably that uncommon). Or maybe also because he's a Quinx and regular human investigators look down on them, but I'm not sure about this as Tokage seems to refer to Mutsuki as an Academy student when he says that 'that kid's trouble as well'.
