An interesting window to being intersex in Japan, but I personally was not that interested in appearance-related details, which went on for a while.

Arai discusses many gender and sexuality topics related to aging that I haven't always thought about. He especially talks about issues he experiences as an intersex person who was assigned female at birth, ways felt more masculine, and found out he's intersex and has physical masculine and feminine characteristics that clash with social expectations.
