The line simply says
>During the Main Phase, if this card is a Continuous Trap: You can Special Summon this card.
It doesn't implictly say "as a monster" since it already is a Monster Card, but I could see the argument for either outcome
>It doesn't say as a monster, therefore it doesn't.
or
>It is a Continuous Trap with an effect that Special Summons itself. It is a monster already, therefore it summons itself as a monster
It's a weird situation
