    1. Sandy Stone’s (2006 [1991]) ‘The Empire Strikes Back: A Posttranssexual Manifesto’ Suppose that you could be a man [or woman] in every way except for your genitals; would you be content? (231)

    2. List of terms from pyschosexology (true) Transsexualism (Benjamin, 1966) Transvestism Autogynephilia (Blanchard, 1991; Lawrence, 2004) Homosexual transsexuals (Blanchard, 1989, 1991) Autoandrophilia (Chivers and Bailey, 2000),

    3. II. Becoming culturally visible, shifting the spectrum

    4. Sandy Stone’s (2006 [1991]) ‘The Empire Strikes Back: A Posttranssexual Manifesto’ Transsexuals: “a set of embodied texts whose potential for productive disruption of structured sexualities and spectra of desire’ has not yet been explored” (231)

    5. Examples of explosion of trans sex discourse in trans studies trans sex workers (Kulick & Klein, 2003; Namaste, 2000) gay identified transmen (Cromwell, 1999) lesbian and bisexual transwomen (Bolin, 1988; Bornstein, 1994), trans people of color (Munoz, 1999; Valentine, 2003)

    6. Susan Stryker’s 2004 “Transgender Studies: Queer Theory’s Evil Twin” transgender, like race and class, is “something that cuts across existing sexualities, revealing in often unexpected ways the means through which all identities achieve their specificities” (214)

    7. III. Mutable Trans Entities and Sexualities

    8. Trans Entities: The Nasty Love of Papě and Wil (Morty Diamond, USA 2007)

    9. Wil: ‘I identify as a trans entity. I feel very much in touch with both my male and female side … I just, you know, found a word for it’.

    10. Eve Sedgwick’s (1995) “Gosh, Boy George, You Must be Awfully Secure in Your Masculinity” ‘Will I be able to recognize myself if I …?’ (18)

    11. C. Jacob Hale’s (1997) “Leatherdyke Boys and Their Daddies: How to Have Sex without Women or Men” SM as “a resource or means of learning more about myself and growing” (227) “sex is a ‘tool’” (227) “To change our embodiments without changing our bodies” (233)

    12. Gaston Bachelard’s (1994) The Poetics of Space duality becomes “iridescent, shimmering, unceasingly active in its inversions” (Stryker, 2008: 39)

    13. GUIDELINES FOR READING AND DISCUSSION What kinds of special restrictions on sexuality have been placed on those diagnosed as transsexual, and what have been the effects on sexual identification? How can (post)transsexuals specifically interrupt and invigorate theories of sexuality and desire? In what ways might a turn to pornography help or hinder a more ethical (adequate) discourse on trans sexuality?

    14. More topics Lovers of trans people Social use of pornography (for minorities) The persistence of identity Establishing limits to one’s growth in recognition
