profiterole_reads: (Naruto Shippuuden - Sasuke and Naruto)
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 [personal profile] duckprintspress! For more LGBT Quick Reads, check out my rec list.
