Through two fragments of clinical cases, we approach the use that the subject makes, when making use of the diversity of the names of the genres coming from the social Other, both to avoid sexual difference and to face the impasses of sexual difference. Clinical cases testify that, beyond the genres, there remains a real of jouissance in the field of the speaking being’s sexuality. From this real of jouissance, it becomes necessary to question the reasons why clinical manifestations, in our contemporary world, are at the service of jouissance, denouncing the rupture of ties with the Other.
Keywords : Gender diversity; Sex difference; Jouissance; Breaking ties with the Other.
