based off a conversation with my friends

Just finished reading They were 11 and to avoid spoiling it for my gnosia mutuals (bc its an interesting short sci fi manga that may have inspired the game and thus be of interest to you) I'm going to put my unnuanced, glib quip about the ending under a read more, apologies to everyone who has spent a long time honing Good non-reductive Takes about gender in this manga

So I'm pretty sure we can consider Frol a trans man because he's about to experience the Canon gay trans man Event of entering uni and immediately having a suuuper messy first relationship with a straight guy who like, on paper is cool with his gender but like... not exactly encouraging of their transition... Then whenever they finally break up he starts the testosterone as soon as possible and remembers that was actually what he wanted to do from the beginning and the boyfriend was the only thing holding him back

Been locked in on Frology and trying to figure out which intersex condition he may have. There are ~40 types of intersex conditions and all of them are vastly different in how they affect people.

That said, I've narrowed it down to him most likely having Klinefelter Syndrome (47 XXY) which is where someone is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome.

Frol hits many, if not all of the symptoms of Klinefelter Syndrome. Those symptoms being:

Physical: taller stature, reduced muscle tone, lack of facial and body hair, structural genitourinary abnormalities, enlarged and/or extra breast tissue

Behavioral: Difficulty expressing thoughts and/or feelings, emotional immaturity, mild executive functioning impairment, depression, ADHD

** @motohagios pointed out that Frol is surprised when he finds Tada is taller than him, implying that he isn't considered short in his planet at all. Hence why I am counting that as a symptom he (possibly) hits. A few I can't count, such as depression (he shows no signs), and speech delay (we didn't see Frol's childhood, so it's up in the air) and maybe one or two others, but he still hits a LOT of the symptoms.

One of the most common treatments for Klinefelter Syndrome is testosterone replacement therapy, which is what Frol's parents had planned for him once he returned to his home planet.

On top of all of the signs in the actual manga, in the real world, Klinefelter is the most common sex chromosome disorder. When you look up intersex conditions, chromosome disorders, things along that line, Klinefelter Syndrome is one that commonly pops up. Ans in the 60s and 70s, research published on Klinefelter Syndrome saw an increase, making it plausible that Moto Hagio could have very feasibly came across said research, assuming she researched at all. Which I am inclined to believe, given how well Frol is written from the perspective of an actual intersex person. I find it hard to believe that she could bullshit her way through writing Frol so well without at least SOME research.

Out of all the intersex conditions, Klinefelter Syndrome seems to be the one most in line with Mr Frolbericheri and therefore is the condition I believe he has!!
