摘要：From fragments of life stories of (transsexual) people, I try to explain the diversity oftheir livings, unique experiences, ways of making sense of the process of breaking the gendernorms and sexuality. I analyze the inadequacy of medical-legal discourse, anchored in anessencialized truth on the sexualized body, to capture the possibilities of experiences intranssexuality. I argue that the destabilizing potential of transsexuality lies in withdrawing from thereductionist view, which considerss transsexuals as misguided people trapped in a body whoseintelligibility would depend solely upon reassignment surgery.
