In hindsight of previous chapters, I'm gonna render my elaboration upon this discussion.

To do that, we need to discuss the entire issue of Mutsuki, and the issue was and still is that Mutsuki had a traumatizing past which are physical and strongly implied (pretty much DID happen though off-screen) sexual abuse. Eventually, due to the lack of support and help, Mutsuki ended up snapping and the parents and brothers were butchered down.

This escalated even further when Mutsuki started killing cats.

During the flashback of Torso, we saw an article mentioning "daughter survived" with Mutsuki denying to be the person mentioned  along with officers and people around knowing fully well who it was.

There are also panels mentioning "rape", Mutsuki being stared at from all directions etc.

Takizawa once pointed out something interesting in the Auction.

In order to overcome what you fear, you have to become what you fear.

Mutsuki never had a gender identity issue. The issue at hand was that Mutsuki was traumatized by the past and was in denial over being a murderer of her own family and became the object of fear in life. That was in disguising and hiding her true self.

So yes, I vote pronouns for female with both gender and sex being female as she is indeed a girl who had no identity issue but suffered from the past which resulted in lying to herself and those around her about being male in order to escape her past.

An interesting fact is that Mutsuki is a poor liar. People knew she killed her parents just as Saiko knew she is a girl.
