Abstract

RINALDI, Doris Luz  and  POSSARI, Mayara Yamauti. Transsexuality and Sexual Difference: What the Clinic Teaches Us. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.spe2, pp. 1-13. ISSN 2359-0769.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v20iesp2.e8897.

This work addresses the transsexual issue taking into account a double dimension. On one hand, considering it a social phenomenon that has been taking on ever greater media proportions; on the other, with special attention to the subject in its uniqueness, from the clinical thought proper to psychoanalytic theory. For this, it is intended to approach the construction of the transsexual diagnosis and its consequences, as well as to cross the theme of sexual difference from psychoanalysis, placing its theoretical field relative to the unconscious, with its intertwined concepts, which distances itself from the biological approach and gender issues. Finally, fragments of cases will be presented to develop the discussion from one to one.

Keywords : transsexuality; sexual difference; psychoanalysis.
