There was a lot of information packed in, but it left me feeling a bit scattered (despite how Arai sorted everything into titled chapters).

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.
