Actually, the translation "It’s not like I have 'a heart of a man' inside me..." isn't that far away from my own ("That doesn't (necessarily) mean that I have a man's heart"). In both cases, it's denied that you can make a specific conclusion from something previously said. The difference is in nuance: How strongly is the conclusion denied? The answer is, as so often: It depends. The original Japanese at least leaves the possibility open that he has a man's heart - the question is how likely this possibility is, especially since Mutsuki himself saw the need to clarify this in his thoughts. Only time will tell. But it's safe to say that Mutsuki is at the very least uncertain about his gender identity.

However, "I don't have a man's heart" is clearly a far too strong statement.
