Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference · Patricia Gherovici · p.173
**BODY TROUBLE**
Theoretical move: Using the 1907 memoir of N. O. Body (Karl Bauer) as a case study, Gherovici argues that transsexual/intersex experience does not mark a marginal exception but rather exposes the universal impossibility of fully representing sex, thereby challenging biological determinism and gender essentialism; the subject's "reknotting" through writing enacts a genuine transition of subjectivity.
Intersex, transgender, and genderqueer subjects challenge biological determinism and gender essentialism.
