The flashback scene is completely unambiguous about Tooru being trans, though we have no information at this point about what exactly the "selfish request" entailed exactly. Whether it was simply being able to live as a man or undergoing transition, we really don't know at this point. But Tooru explicitly describes feelings of dysphoria related to his birth/assigned sex, and wanting to live as what he was comfortable being.
