I’ve always thought that, even as a little kid.

DaVinci often painted male figures with feminine features. It was his attempt to convey youth.

Nothing strange here.

It's St. John (as in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). He was the youngest of the disciples. He has always been depicted as young and indeed, somewhat feminine as shown in all these paintings of him.
