Lion definitely had a reaction, but it wasn't particularly strong. All Lion said was that people tend ask her a lot about her sex, and that it had become an annoyance, to the point she had developed a complex on her looks.

There's a difference between me not buying the idea and me not liking it, please learn to make that distinction. Also, I've said the possibility is there, precisely of things like Zepar and Furfur. So, I'm by no means denying it.

My point basically was that Yasu started complaining due to something she learned about herself, and which is related to the incident when she fell from a cliff, in which I see no connection to intersexuality at all.
