Honestly, I think we should stick with the pronouns used within the material. Since Mutsuki uses highly masculine pronouns and Dr. Shiba refers to him with a male term, we should use that as our basis for things.

"Mutsuki simply said that she didn't have any pleasant experiences as a woman. That doesn't necessarily mean that she wants to give up being a woman altogether. Her intention might simply be to conceal her gender and not becoming a guy"

Except that isn't what we're told and shown. While the word "Trans" hasn't been printed, what we are told is that Mutsuki explicitly has experienced long-term feelings of discomfort (according to Japanese literate fans, the wording means "discomfort/disgust/unease") towards a female identity. We are also told he doesn't know why he feels this way, but he just does. Then he asks to address it by living as a man and has done so since then.

Ergo, all we know is that Mutsuki was born a girl, but did not feel comfortable as such and deals with these feelings by living with a male identity.
