Japanese Athlete Aims at New Title After Sex Change

Download the full-sized image of Japanese Athlete Aims at New Title After Sex Change

A news clipping about Toshiko Sanbongi, a transmasculine Japanese athlete. The article misspells Sanbongi's surname as "Lanbongi," and appears to misspell his first name as well (other English-language sources use "Toshiko," a feminine name and presumably his birth name). It is also possible that the article is correct, and the masculine "Toshio" is the name Sanbongi used after coming out.
