Domanda in primo piano
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
Yes.
The phrase is natural enough, but using 'took' here is not a common choice of words. 'For a while' also makes it seem like they thought he was a girl for a prolonged period of time. I'd probably say something more like
"They thought he was a girl at first."
