**** Probably not, since there's never any ambiguity about Mashiro's body, he states outright that his body is male from the waist up and female from the waist down and identifies as male. [[spoiler: And Mashiro being two twins fighting for control of their one life means that none of it mattered anyway.]]

*** There's not a lot of point in wondering about it, since the nature of Mashiro's affliction is [[YouFailBiologyForever totally made up]] and anything he was told about his condition would be equally fictional, ''if'' the nature of the world even provided that moment in his memories to draw on.

** Well, considering that [[spoiler:it's revealed that everyone's living in a fake world anyway]], this troper just assumed that whoever it was that "birthed" Mashiro brushed it off...then again, this ''is'' a MindScrew series.

*** I should think that having been without one for at least two years past the average, it's a reasonable guess that Mashiro concluded that s/he wouldn't ever have one.

*** Apparently the average age of first menstruation is about 11-13, and it is definitely not unheard of for it to occur much later. Saying "impossible" doesn't really make sense since she/he must have been aware of her/his own biology (although as others have pointed out, since it's a fake world, he/she may not have questioned or realised if nobody ever told him/her about that), but I would say the feeling was more like "no way" or "this can't be happening" - a sense of denial.

*For that matter HOW the hell did s/he get diagnosed in the first place? I mean at birth only the gender of the lower half would have been obvious, so why the hell wasn't Mashiro raised as a girl? Do the Japanese karyotype children at birth or something?
