He's a man not because of a penis, but because of his chromosomes.

Not really, he's a man because of how his chromosomes and his mother's body influenced hormone levels during prenatal development and how his developing body responded to those hormones.
In simplistic terms, all human bodies start out "female" and are turned male, in the womb, by certain hormones. This process can go off course for a number of reasons.
If it went off course at the right time and for the right amount of time, theoretically he could actually have a female brain or extremely feminine brain in his otherwise male body.
One extreme example of this hormone process being altered is in individuals with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.
How you want to define sex, gender, w/e in this complex process is something I could give less of a shit about.
I suppose the best way to get a good idea would be to cut his brain open after he dies and look at certain sexually dimorphic structures.
At the end of the day, everyone owns their body and can do whatever they want to it, and everyone else has the right to their own opinion.

When you say female brain, you are making a mistake. A brain inside of a male body is a male brain. Even if it doesn't conform to some predetermined type.

X-Y or X-X. That is all there is to it.
