"If I am able to tell this now... is because my parents tell me everything." "They would tell me what happened and show me everything." "you can do it." "All right!" "All right!" "What seemed like a common situation ends here." "I am born." "they wouldn't let my parents see me." "Hey." "Isn't this a single patient room?" "It seems like all the other rooms are full." " Is that so?" " Yeah." " Clothes for changing." " Thanks." "They still won't let us see our baby?" "Yeah..." "Probably because he is pre-mature." "Can't they take him out of the incubator?" "That's not it." "He was born passed the expected date." "They should at least tell us if the baby is a boy or a girl..." "That's right." "I thought of many good names." "Look." "This side is for a boy." "This side is for a girl." "Taro." "Shintaro." "right?" "Yes." "Excuse me." "may I have some of your time?" "the pediatrician." "The baby was born safely and is healthy." "However...there is something I must tell you two." "it is hard to determine whether your child is a male or female. also known as IS." "I..." "S? 500 people." "000 people." " That..." " Excuse me." "This side please." "I am sorry." "Wait." "your child's body... is in a state of which the baby is neither a boy nor a girl." "Look please." "then her clitoris is too large and her vagina is immature." "his penis is too small." "and it is not suppose to be in the vagina. we can't define its birth gender." "then does that means he is not a boy or a girl?" "Even if you suddenly say that..." "I know that your feelings right now is very complicated." "But this is the truth." "you must accept this fact." "I need you to decide on something because of this matter." "Decide what?" "The gender. - decide the gender of the child." " Decide the gender of the child?" "be good... be good." "good child." "Why did it turn out like this?" "Why did our child turn out like this?" "We still don't know the reason why." "or a mutation in hormones secretion." "Symptoms are diverse." "Research in this field has only started recently. a gender change does not occur." "There are many others." "The most worrisome issue is society's inability to understand and prejudice." "Prejudice..." "The child and the family members if this continues." "What happens after we decide the gender?" "We will use surgery to cure the baby's genital." "Cure... we will use hormone medicines to regulate the growth of the baby." "mama and papa" "Let me hold that child."" "considering how they most had felt then." "What are you doing?" "There is no meaning for it." "There is no longer meaning for these." "Stop it." "Don't think like that." "Why did this happen?" "My body must be very weird." "It's my fault." "This is no one's fault." "Then why!" "Then why did our child..." "Our child became like this..." "Why?" "Why is our child neither a boy nor a girl?" "I already called my parents and your mom." "I told them you gave birth." " Why?" " We have to tell them eventually." "Why?" "They asked me if the child is a girl or a boy." "How...how did you answer?" "they had to do some examinations immediately." "So I forgot to ask." "Then they laughed at me." "They called me careless." "But they are all very happy." "Taro-chan..." "Umm...here." "Thanks." "Why did papa and mama give birth to me?" "Girl]" "Do you want to hold him?" "Yes." "I don't blame them." "They didn't want to touch a child like that." "I don't blame them."

"It is common." "Yoko..." "Doctor!" "500 people has IS" " right?" " Please think carefully." "right?" "Yes." "Then can someone introduce us to a family that has an IS child." "Please. 000 people with IS in Japan." "how come not a lot of people know about them?" "Are there really parents that would mention such sensitive topics to others?" "A lot of families choose to quickly get the surgery I mentioned earlier." "Then they try their best to hide that fact." "it is normal to be either a man or a woman." "your existence is very hard to accept." "That's why neither the person nor the family member wants to tell others." "They keep hiding existences of such people." "So it is better to quickly decide what the gender of the baby is and get the surgery to fix the reproductive organ." "we will try to make the baby close to that gender." "I know that this came very suddenly." "You two must be very troubled." "But it is better that you decide soon for your child's future." "Is the store ok?" "Taro-chan!" "The store is not that important right now." "Then is it going to be close all this time?" "I know." "There are a lot of bills to pay at the end of the month..." "Enough!"

"Our people are guarding the exit during nighttime." " So she couldn't had gotten outside..." " Then she is still inside!" " How about the rooftop?" " That's impossible." " You can't access it without a key." " Hoshino-san!" "?" "I wouldn't blame mom for what happened." "Yoko!" "What are you doing?" "Stand still!" "Stand still and don't move!" "Yoko!" "Yoko!" "Yoko!"

" Come!" " What?" "Oh!" "The result of the examination indicates that your child has ovaries and a uterus." "No testes were found." "she is a female." "If anything..." "It is best to accept the surgery soon." "she must be registered first." "birth certification." "You must turn it in within 14 days after the baby is born." "You must also indicate her gender on the family register." "yes." "Here." "Taro-chan!" "Amazing!" " I have been thinking." " What?" "The name of the child." "A name that works for a boy or a girl." "That's true." " Do you see it?" " What?" "Look." " Sakura?" " Yes." "Isn't it good?" "But calling her Sakura..." "No." "It is everything you see here." " Yeah." " Everything?" "Yeah!" "Do you understand?" "Here!" "I am Hoshino Haru." "Haru-chan." "How cute." "Thanks." "It is a name fits the season right now." "It does fit right now." "I am Aihara Miwako." " Miwako-san..." " Yeah." "Why did you choose this school?" "yea." "I want to be a patissier." "Haru-chan is studying cooking instead of the normal courses." "sorry." " Why are you apologizing?" " That's true." "Yes...that's true." "That's true*... *("ne" is used by women while "na" is used by men.)" "Thank you for doing this for me." "my parents temporarily registered me as a female." "right?" " Yes." "But my parents still cannot decide whether to get me the surgery or not." "they were still considering it." "or raise me as a boy?" "we really were like a normal family." "How cute." "Not bad." "It must be comfortable." "Other than that..." "I am going to wash you clean." "papa?" "Is it done?" " Hey!" " Taro!" "Taro!" "Then the unavoidable day came." "So that's what happened... for hiding this from you." "We didn't tell you till now." "We are really sorry." "Didn't you find out about this during the earlier stages of your pregnancy?" "Have you not think of getting an examination?" "dad?" "What do you mean?" "No..." "I am very sorry..." "Why are you apologizng?" "You don't have to apologize."

"Are you comfortable?" "Yoroshiku ne." "she is your grandmother." "Taro-chan." " Yeah?" " Regarding Haru's gender..." " Yeah. he can decide himself." "He can get the surgery then." "Because that is not our lives." "It is Haru's life." "Is my way of thinking weird?" "Should the mother of a child with IS say that?" "I thought of that too." "I feel that it is the best choice. but before that...we are Haru's parents." "sorry." "I just changed her diaper." "Sorry." "smile." " Starting." " Yes." "yes." "one more time." "I started getting a high fever for no reason." "We can use an emergency laparotomy operation to get rid of the incarcerated indirect inguinal hernia that caused the high fever. we found testes in your daughter's body." "What?" "How could that be?" "Didn't you say she didn't have testes?" "They were probably hidden in the intestines." " How could that be..." "So you should decide now." "Will the child be a boy or a girl?" "We told you a few days ago." "We want to wait till the child grows up then decide. which will threaten the child's life... we still have to decide whether the child will be a boy or a girl." "please." "A life cannot be replaced." "please save Haru." "Please." "I became a real girl like I was listed in the family register." "But IS is very cruel." "Haru!" "it began to appear." "I was not interested in female games." "It doesn't have to do with the body." "She must have a psychological gender." "We listed her as a girl." "Was it wrong?" "She's not a boy." "But she's not a girl either." "Poor child." "She is a boy and a girl." "At least that's how I infer it." "My parents explained the situation to the principal." "I became a boy." "I then attended kindergarten." "I remember that I was very happy at that time." " Oh!" " She's here." " Where are you going?" " Be careful." "Haru!" "my family was in trouble." "The cake shop closed down." "Papa was no longer a patissier." "He did other jobs." "It's okay." "It will be fine soon." "It will be fine soon." "but my parents became..." "Pregnant?" " It is now 4 months." " Yes." "but you two are sure brave." "Are you not afraid that the second child might have the same condition?" "That..." "You can do an amniocentesis." "How about that?" "we refuse." " But..." "We decide to just let it be natural." "if..." " Doctor." "This child and Haru." "They are lives God gave me." "We don't watn to deny Haru's presence." "That's it." "I want to give birth." " Look at papa." " My sister was born." "This fellow is a real girl." "yes." " Yes." " Oh!" "I closed my eyes." "Let's do it one more time." "we have to take it one more time." "Leon!" "Leon!" "My first best friend is an impressive boy with naturally curly hair." "Saito Leon." "It hurts." "Weird glasses!" "Why are your hair so twirly?"

"That's the first time I knew." "Haru..." "My body is different than other people." "I have IS." "I am both a man and a woman." "...So sometimes you might feel that you are different than others." "But just be yourself." "I don't want to." "I want to be like everyone else." "Why am I the only weird one?" "Idiot!" "You cannot call yourself weird." " You are not weird." " I am weird!" "Natsu-chan." "be good." "be good." " Haru disappeared." " What?" "What?" "Haru!" "Haru!" "Haru!" "Haru." "Haru!" "I remember clearly what happened." "I felt especially scared and worried." "I am different from others." "I am a weird child." "That's great." "That's great." "You are fine." "hate mama." "Mama gave birth to Haru." "mama was shocked in the beginning." "Because I didn't understand Haru." "mama thought about committing suicide with you." "I thought that it would be better if we died." "But it's great that we didn't die." "Because you grew up to be so good." "just be the way you are." "Don't feel ashamed at all." "Mama likes Haru the most." "the most." "Mama likes Haru the most." "Likes Haru the most." "Till now I remember clearly what happened." "When papa and mama we saw many stars in the sky." " So papa came up with this cake." " What?" "here." "Itadakimasu." "Delicious!" "Isn't it?" "Papa is originally a genius." "Originally?" "right?" "come outside." "Come outside." "Outside." "be good." "Be good." "Look." "Papa and mama are always smiling." "You have to keep this a secret from everyone." "I am only telling you because you are my best friend." "Yeah." "that I can be myself." "I began to like soccer even more." "He is listed as a female on the family register?" "I already explained the situation to the elementary school principal." "I am not talking about that." "he will always be like a man." "quickly let him get the surgery." "it will be harder to change in the future." "He originally was a girl." "That..." "I did some research myself." "There are many types of IS." "Some have testosterones even though they have female reproductive organs." "Others have estrogens while they have male reproductive organs." "There are other mutations as well." "Some have both testes and ovaries." "Haru-chan is that type." "Haru-chan no longer has testes." "he has become more and more like a man." "There are a lot of things we don't understand about IS." "Haru-chan feels that he is a boy." "But on the family register... you!" "Where is big brother?" "Big brother has soccer practice today." "is that so?" " What do you want to drink?" " What do you want to drink?" " How about juice?" "How about juice?" "Good child." "good chance." "Pass it to the person next to you." "I became obsessed with soccer." "But I already knew what I want to do in the future." "Hey." "You hardly come here." "What's wrong?" "I turn in my career sheet." "Is that so?" "I already have an intended high school." "it will probably be a lot of work." "Haku Saki High School with courses in cooking." "Cooking?" "I want to be a patissier like papa." " I decided a long time ago." " Haru." "will open Star Cake Shop again." "You..." "I already told this to mama." "Why didn't she tell me anything?" "I wanted to tell papa myself." "Is that so?" "Yeah." "Oh!" " They finally notice us!" "Okaeri!" " What are they talking about?" "Come here." "it's tasty." " Okaeri." "not bad." "right?" "Try it." "I understand the situation." "I cannot allow her to attend school as a male." "but..." "It was fine doing that till middle school. Haru-chan is quite feminine." "my body suddenly started becoming more feminine." "I know that myself." "Attending the cooking class in this school is this child's dream." "we can still consider that." "it was not necessary for her to be a female in order to attend school." "I am very happy that you want to open a cake shop with me." "Super happy." "he is a man." "It's impossible to make brother change into a woman." "what do you think?" "What does Haru want to do?" "I will just bear it for 3 year?" "I just need to make delicious pastries." "It doesn't matter if I am a male or female." "but..." "Then I will try to be a female for 3 years." " Hey." " Yeah?" "Have you ever wonder why you were born into this world?" "Sorry." "I just met you and I am saying weird things already." "No." "Is something bothering you?" "nothing." "Then I am going to ask you... do you feel lucky that you are female?" "I don't know." "Don't ask me." "Let's go." "Yeah." "I need to appear like a female to attend this school."
