Novel Revolts as Crafting of a Self
The psychoanalytic field continues to struggle with the dilemmas of conceptualizing gender and the experience of gender transition, even though gender appears to be very present in its multiple and transitional forms in the realm of the psyche as it manifests through the affective situation of the transference. In this paper, I want to move to an understanding of different situations of transitions that are grounded in gender but that suggest a w…
From Screen Memories of Affirmation to the Unpredictability of Becoming
There are now deep debates within psychoanalytics regarding approaches of care for an adolescent presenting as non-binary or transgender. These debates are vastly split. While some view the child’s demand to transition as a matter of self-knowledge that calls for “affirmation,” others raise concerns over the child or adolescent’s capacity to discern between “need and wish” and warn against affirmation of a young person’s gendered assertions. In t…

The Queerness of Childhood
Adolescences trans
Chez l’adolescent, la demande de soutien à la mise en place d’une transition médicale va à l’encontre des théories psychanalytiques traditionnelles. Dans cet article, l’auteur fait état des métaphores les plus récurrentes, repérées dans les discussions sur la transition de genre. À partir des notions de contagion , de naturalité de genre et d’ amputation , il tente de percer à jour les angoisses propres aux analystes d’une part, et à la psychanal…
Has Psychoanalysis Reached Its Limits in the Question of the Trans Child and Adolescent
New medical advances and options for transitioning along with an array of gender representations have provided gender diverse children and adolescents liberating possibilities. The transitioning youth's demands for recognition and/or support for initiation of medical intervention pushes against the analyst's theories of gender and challenges conservative understanding of sexual identity, moving it closer to the multidetermined nature of dreamwork…
Adolescent Ruthlessness and the Transitioning Of The Analyst’s Mind
Features of ruthlessness may come into play in the encounter between adolescents who come into the therapeutic space with clear and precise demands to be supported through their gender transition. Winnicott’s concept of ruthlessness, extended from the infant-mother matrix to the emotional situation of the clinic, allows a consideration of the conditions under which the analyst can think about adolescent demands. These conditions involve the desir…
Current Critical Debates in the Field of Transsexual Studies
The Re-turning of the Screw
In her paper “To Suffer Pleasure: The Shattering of the Ego as Psychic Labor of Perverse Sexuality,” published in Studies in Gender and Sexuality, Volume 15, Number 4, Saketopoulou proposes an alternative interpretation of perversion that allows the analyst to recognize perversity’s “productive potential” (Saketopoulou, 2014, p. 255). In this paper I offer a close reading of Saketapoulou’s essay to address 3 contentious issues in her arguments: (…
Stalled on the Stall
The title of the article, “Stalled in the Stall,” is a commentary on the present state of discourse surrounding transsexuality, particularly concerning access to the gendered bathroom. It points to an irony: media representations of transsexual and transgender identities include myriad of expressions, bringing to view the notion of identity as partial, contradictory, and not easily read. And yet, the popular media talk and discussions on the tran…
The Transsexual’s Turn
A controversy over the admission of transmen into an all-women’s college featured in a recent article in The New York Times, “When Women Become Men at Wellesley” (Padawer, 2014), captures the ways in which transsexuality orients discussions of identity, sociality, at-homeness, and modes of gender self-fashioning. The presence of transmen in an all-women’s college also incites debates over the history of the school’s identity and the challenges of…
Transsexual surgery
This paper considers questions of gender integration in transsexuality. While, historically, the medical/clinical establishment has treated the transsexual's desire for surgery as a hysterical demand, I develop the view, with the Lacanian theories of Gherovici and Verhaeghe, that transsexual surgery may signify a means to traverse phantasy and claim one's desire. This formulation depends on Lacan's notion of “the Act.” Along with presenting clini…
