Well, it's apparent that Hinase is a special case, so why can't they be 'neither'? I don't think the issue is that the MC specifically wants to a gender so much as they don't want to feel left behind, or as the title says "Out of Place". It's possible that they could still accept being who they are now. Though, if they do choose one, I don't think it will come easily.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but Shiori says on pg 28 that he thinks that it is likely that Hinase will become a guy. It seems like this is the reason why he feels like he needs to be more aggressive.
