Early life

Manganang was born in Tahuna, North Sulawesi in Indonesia. He was born with hypospadias, but due to the lack of medical facilities in his hometown he would only be aware of this condition later in life after his volleyball career. He was assigned as female at birth and was raised as a girl. Manganang reportedly felt different than girls of his age. [3]

Career

Club

Manganang played in multiple local club teams in Indonesia and received various tournament awards. With his vertical leap and powerful attacks, he received awards in the Vietnam-based tournament named VTV International Women's Volleyball Cup. [4] He played as an import in Thailand for the Supreme Volleyball Club and won the championship and Most Valuable Player award. [3]

National team

Manganang represented Indonesia in international volleyball tournaments including the Southeast Asian Games and the 2018 Asian Games. At the 2015 Southeast Asian Games, the Philippine national team filed a protest which disputed Manganang's gender but was cleared by the FIVB. [5] [6]

Post-retirement

Manganang announced his retirement from volleyball in September 2020 at age 28. [5] He then entered the Indonesian Army after retiring. It was in February 2021, that he learned of his biological sex and his hypospadias condition. He underwent corrective surgery [3] and had his legal gender changed from female to male, and change his name from "Aprilia Santini" to "Aprilio Perkasa". The Indonesian Volleyball Federation also agreed to not strip the women's volleyball titles won by Manganang saying that he has no fault. [7]
