According to the article, the scientists think (but can't confirm) that the person had Klinefelter's Syndrome, meaning that he has two X chromosomes and a Y. According to The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 75% of those with KS are not diagnosed. Looking at pictures of people with KS, they don't seem particularly feminine. I don't think the medieval Finns considered this person anything other than male.
Klinefelter's are sterile males.
Being sterile doesn't mean people think you aren't a man. Given the times, they might think you're not much of one, but still a man.
