I vote for male, too.

Mutsuki even said 'I want to live as a man from now on' and felt very uncomfortable while wearing female clothes. It is not the same how Kanae felt back then, who thought of themself as ugly and bulky and just felt clothing like that do not fit their appearance. Also Kanae did not mind that all of the servants knew about the secret and actually wanted to be noticed by Shuu. Mutsuki on the other hand seems to have very unpleasant feelings where you cannot stand being seen as a female at all. I doubt you would feel that way if you were just pretending to be a man for whatever reasons. If Mutsuki is just disguised as a man and not trans it would be odd for Ishida to repeat the same narrative (albeit with probably different reasons) again. It is also interesting to know that you can indeed 'become' trans due to trauma even if it is rather rare. So Mutsuki could have experienced some kind of trauma but that wouldn't immediately make him female.
