If you listen to their voice sample, "Oooh, yeesss" that's a male voice. A friend of mine said Mettaton reminds them heavily of David Bowie - who, for you youngsters out there, was a singer/dancer/actor that was famous for his effeminate outfits. One of his better known songs is "Let's Dance", and he starred in Labyrinth.

It is very hard for me to NOT see Mettaton Ex as being similar to David Bowie. You could, alternatively, interpret Mettaton as being reminiscent of Marilyn Mansion. Still, I really don't see anything to support the notion that Mettaton is transgender.

Actually, I could go a step further and remark, as someone else has, that Mettaton's bodies were built by someone heavily into anime. Anime has a long history of bishonen characters which could also explain their appearance.
