Bodies to Wear: Four Lacanian Takes on Trans · Patricia Gherovici · p.32
BODIES TO WEAR FOUR LACANIAN TAKES ON TRANS > BODY DRESSING
Theoretical move: Gherovici argues that trans embodiment is not a question of "having" an identity but a strategy of "being," grounded in the death drive as a life-enabling force; she proposes an "ethics of embodied desire" that reframes transition as a creative act of re-birth rather than a pathological or identity-based phenomenon.
Primarily, fashion functions as a language through which trans persons experiment, explore, and ultimately express themselves.
