I dunno if it'll help any, but I'm also a rather non-masculine transguy who found his character quite easy to relate to! It bugged me a little at first for a couple of reasons (not the least of which being my given name is also gender-neutral but assumed to be female, and I'm 4' 10"), but he's just so happy-go-lucky and awesome that I can't help but like him.

Like you said, it doesn't (and shouldn't!) make either of us less of a man. =)
