In this article, "Object Lessons and the Desire of Psychoanalysis," I meditate on the significance of Robyn Wiegman's 2012 monograph Object Lessons by examining the psychoanalytic significance of the concept of "transferential idealism" that Wiegman first introduced there. In doing so, I read Wiegman's Object Lessons through the lens of the book's psychoanalytic ethics and argue that the desire of Object Lessons is the desire of psychoanalysis: an enigmatic desire, borne from lack, which aims toward the proliferation of difference. By foregrounding the psychoanalytic desire of Object Lessons, I also consider my own inheritances of the desire of Object Lessons as the desire of psychoanalysis, and argue for its urgent importance for the field of Trans Studies today
