Cisteria: A Psychoanalysis against Anti-Trans Panics
Do Psychoanalysts Dream of Polymorphous Sleep: Clinical Desiring With Transgender Subjects
This article borrows from the lessons of dystopic science fiction to analyze fantasies that surround gender variance and perversion in the psychoanalytic clinic. Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is used to substrate Lacan’s formations of perversion and their relationship to the paradoxical nature of desire. Lacan’s idiosyncratic handling of perversion formulates an essential truth about the problematic nature of human d…
A Perverse Solution to Misplaced Distress
Transgender people have long been associated with sexual perversion. For example, many early versions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) infamously categorized any gender variance as sexual deviance or paraphilia.

Peer mod…

And along with this familiarity comes close associations, abiding memory trails, a type of metonymic progression to a particular moment in this present time: I inherited this. “This” is what I am left with, so what do I make of it now? “This” is a confluence of rece…
