Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference · Patricia Gherovici · p.112
**PORTRAITS IN A TWO-WAY MIRROR** > **Anxious? Castration is the solution!**
Theoretical move: By reading clinical cases of sexual ambiguity through Lacanian concepts of castration and lack, the passage argues that the psychoanalytic subject is constituted by subjectivized lack — not by a stable sexual identity — and that castration anxiety, properly understood, is a productive organizing force rather than a wound, one that psychoanalysis itself must now undergo in relation to transgender subjects.
These cases seem to position themselves in a zone of sexual ambiguity, as Geneviève Morel calls it.
