TRANS: GENDER IN FREE FALL
Trans genders may be uncommon, but gender variance itself is not rare. Indeed, whatever conditions create gender as an either/or binary, also create its many complications and multipliers. By understanding the psychic action of trans, the exception, we can uncover the workings of binary gender, the rule.
To experience gender as permanently unsettled, to deploy gender categories as consciously provisional, to know as fact that gender is socially constructed, and to live it as personally assembled, this is something new under the sun.
