Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference · Patricia Gherovici · p.14
**INTRODUCTION** > **The moment is now**
Theoretical move: The passage argues that the "transgender moment" constitutes a critical juncture demanding that psychoanalysis abandon its historically normative, pathologizing stance toward transsexuality and reorient itself around an ethics of choice and subjective responsibility—a reorientation for which Lacanian psychoanalysis is uniquely positioned.
Historically, psychoanalysts have taken a normative position by reading transsexuality as a sign of pathology. Nothing could be further from what one learns in the clinic about sexuality. Psychoanalysis needs sex realignment, and the time is now.
