Daphne is written as someone who has been expected to exist as a man and discovers that they are not actually a man after all… which means that Daphne was never a cis-man.

I will grant you that is likely valid but it was never really clear to me the difference between how Daphne liked "acting" and how Daphne liked "being" I have known many trans women since the seventies and also many men who dressed as women but considered themselves to be men, probably cisgender men. (I think some have rethought that) and I was not 100% sure where Daphne fit in. Upon reflection, You are likely correct but there is a gut instinct I have that if the award category must be gendered, male seems the appropriate one for this. Probably a better argument for non gendered awards categories.
