To make it simple, he desires a feminine body but he continue to repeat he is a boy when asked. A transgender is a person who prefer to be considered of the opposite gender than his/her body. You can consider Ruka as a hidden homosexual (with feelings toward Okabe) when he is a boy but not a transgender. He had the possibility to change his gender but i think we can't consider this action to be transgenderism because in reality he never change his gender during his life but before his own birth.

The fact that he continue to wear feminine clothes and had feminine manners doesn't enter in consideration for transgenderism. The only thing we have to look is his feelings and he always feel like a boy when he is a boy and a girl when she is a girl and don't intend to change it by surgeon.
