Could that even be a thing? Besides emotional sensitivities and political adjustments, “trans*” and “psychoanalysis” act as natural allies: While trauma and desire are trans*gender's looming shadows, psychoanalysis may be troubled by in/capacitation/s of “transitioning” in its most fundamental categories: “sex,” “sanity,” “cure,” “castration” as it transitions to something more fluid, beyond the gender binary.

In the 1950s George Devereaux published a…
