All of this discussion is based on assumptions, but here are some facts:

- In Episode 18 of the anime, Rukako says "I'm a boy who looks like a girl".

- In the Visual Novel, he corrects a group of photographers who mistaken him for a guy.

- As others have pointed out, he uses "boku" instead of "watashi".

The concept of transgenders is relatively new in Japan, and crossdressers (which are really common in Japanese media) are not trans, it's more of a fetish/hobby. The term literally means you are dressing as someone of the opposite gender. Gender issues in the West (or more especifically, in the States) are very different to those in the East/Japan, don't expect people from all over the world to be on the same page or to have the same opinions on these kinds of things.
