One's not sure about it... if Ranma thinks of himself as male when
female, and uses male pronouns, why wouldn't Mousse think of himself
as human, and refer to corresponding body parts?

Well, I don't think that analogy is completely valid. Mousse is
referring to a specific part of his anatomy, not to his overall abstract
self. Sure, he thinks of himself as a man, but as a man who happens to
have duck body parts. In the same way, Ranma might refer to his breasts
as a female.

Thanks for your thoughts on this, even though I'm leaning toward the
other direction at the moment. :)
