At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender by Arai Shou

The manga memoir At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender: Life Lessons from a 50-Year-Old After Two Decades of Self-Discovery by Arai Shou was a lot of fun. This mangaka discovered he was intersex through chromosomal testing and had top surgery. He identifies as agender (he/him pronouns) and bisexual. His partner is a gay trans man.

This manga doesn't seem to be available in France, so I ordered the US edition. It's a 4-koma. The author talks about how his body is aging with a focus on male/female differences other than genitals. Still, note that a few of the comic strips include explicit sex advice.

Thanks for the rec to

That sounds like a really interesting read! I'd never heard of it before, so thanks for sharing!

You're welcome! <3

I requested it from the library (had to go through interlibrary loan, because my local library system doesn't own it), so I should have it in hand soon! ^_^
