June 2, 2023 — Gender Embodiment, Crossing Over
[43 pages]
These readings are probably some of the more evocative to sit with if you do not share the identities/experience of the authors or subjects. This will also be our opportunity to explore your feelings on the course as a whole and share any observations from the “pages” experiment.
Read any/Read them all.
Hansbury, G. (2017). The Masculine Vaginal: Working with Queen Men’s Embodiment at the Transgender Edge. Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association. 65(6):1009-1031.
Suchet, M. (2011). Crossing Over. Psychoanal. Dial., 21(2):172-191.
An analyst “crosses over” in her work with a patient who gradually comes to terms with her gender. Very moving paper and has an embodying edge.
Kulick, D. (1998) Ch5, “Travesti Gender Subjectivity” in Travesti: Sex, Gender, and Culture among Brazilian Transgendered Prostitutes.
The Travesti are a fascinating group of Brazilian Transgender Prostitutes that have something to teach us outside of the Cis/Trans binary. Their self-expression and bodily modifications make for a fascinating exploration of intersectionality.
