Bodies to Wear: Four Lacanian Takes on Trans · Patricia Gherovici · p.52
BODIES TO WEAR FOUR LACANIAN TAKES ON TRANS > FOUR LACANIAN TAKES TO RETHINK THE TRANS EXPERIENCE > BEING REAL
Theoretical move: The passage deploys Lacan's sinthome as the theoretical framework for understanding trans "realness" as a singular, creative solution to existential impasse — neither mere passing nor a flight from the Real, but a livable engagement with it — while grounding this claim in clinical vignettes that demonstrate how phallic lack and creative supplementation open the way to desire.
Realness, as experienced by trans individuals, can be understood as a creative, survival-oriented solution that operates within the logic of Lacan's 'sinthome.'
