Overview

Nonfiction. Transsexuality answers to the dream of pushing back, or even eliminating altogether, the limits marking the frontiers of reality. The male transsexual, who claims to have a woman's soul imprisoned in a man's body, and who often demands correction of this error through surgery, is perhaps the only believer in a monolithic sexual identity free of doubts and questions. The female transsexual reverses this equation, seeking to identify with the prerogatives - and even organs - of male power. Sexual difference and its discontents owes much to the cultural interplay of fantasy and reality, dominance and transgression, and the questions that put each of us in touch with what makes us strangers to ourselves.
