History YMMV / TheDayOfRevolution

** For a work covering a queer-related issue, the manga has an ''incredibly'' stringent, prescriptive portrayal of gender. Megumi concludes completely redefining her gender identity under a new name was necessary because because being a "complete" (i.e. very close to biologically typical) female is that much better than an "incomplete" (i.e. intersex) male. It's not helped that Megumi's assessment [[FalseDichotomy completely ignores how she could have sex confirmed to male]][[labelnote:*]]Kei would have remained infertile, but could have both facial hair and an Adam's apple, both things specifically dismissed as out of reach.[[/labelnote]]. After Megumi does transition, behaving as traditionally feminine as possible is treated as a ''completely imperative'' for her to be a girl. All of these go completely unquestioned, and the idea that Megumi's rushed transition could be a mistake is never brought up.

** Upon discovering their female chromosomes, Kei/Megumi's consent to transitioning from male to female is handled ''very'' loosely. Because of their troubled personal life, they immediately announce they'll become a girl, having assumed doing otherwise was just delaying the inevitable. When Kei/Megumi's doctor points out intersex people ''can and do'' go on without any corrective surgery, they instantly change their mind. Their parents refuse for comically petty, selfish reasons (they got [[WantedASonInstead really excited over having a daughter]] and already bought a bunch of girl's clothes). It's half a year later that we're shown Megumi decided (at an unknown point) that she really would rather be female. Parents forcing or coercing intersex children into reassignment is controversial amongst intersex people (and has only gotten more controversial since the manga was written), so it's rather tasteless that such an important decision on Kei/Megumi's is played as both a joke and an afterthought.

* FridgeLogic: Kei's gender appears to be male, so why not just transition him into a boy? Shouldn't the doctors have known that when they first mentioned it? At least he can transition once he moves out.
** The issue is less about the outer gender and more about the inner assets. Kei/Megumi is apparently the kind of intersex where the inner genitalia and the outer genitalia differ. Meaning, while there is a penis with scrotum, the scrotum doesn't work and instead there is a working womb. While it is absolutely possible to make a almost perfect "working woman" out of this situation (as it is mostly a visual correction with the only downside being a artificial vagina, though a good doctor can do wonders there), it will always leave a infertile male, if going the opposite way.
* ValuesDissonance: The manga revolves around a girl named Megumi who was raised as a boy named "Kei". Upon learning about Megumi's chromosomes, it was decided that she should transition into living as a girl, despite Megumi hating the idea (though she eventually gets used to being female). This sort of forced reassignment is controversial amongst intersex people and has only gotten more controversial since the manga was written.

* UnfortunateImplications - It takes the (aborted) sexual assault to convince Megumi that she finally knows what it's like to be a girl.
** Unfortunate, certainly, but sadly all too true. Nearly every woman experiences some kind of sexual imposition in her lifetime.
*** Statistical speaking, 1 in 6 women and 1 in 50 men will be sexually assaulted at least once in their lifetime.

*** Well its coming out now that so do men...but RapeIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale. Still point taken.
