Chihiro is confirmed to be a boy that was bullied for being too feminine, he crossdressed so no one would make fun of him as he blended in. He did not enjoy dressing like a girl, and instead wanted to be more manly.
The reason why Chihiro dies is because he triggers the fuck out of Mondo for actually standing up for himself. Mondo couldn't stand being weaker than him, which then he killed Chihiro in blind rage.
Chihiro was never gay or trans.
