text
  • The essence of transsexualism is the act of passing. A transsexual who passes is obeying the Derridean imperative: "Genres are not to be mixed. I will not mix genres." I could not ask a transsexual for anything more inconceivable than to forgo passing, to be consciously "read", to read oneself aloud--and by this troubling and productive reading, to begin to write oneself into the discourses by which one has been written--in effect, then, to become a posttranssexual.

  • The Empire Strikes Back : A Posttranssexual Manifesto (L'Empire contre-attaque : un manifeste posttranssexuel) est un essai de 1987 écrit par Sandy Stone. Il est considéré comme le texte fondateur des études transgenres dans le milieu universitaire, d'autres travaux critiques sur les personnes transgenres émergeant à la suite de sa publication. Il examine comment les femmes transgenres ont été historiquement perçues, étudiées et traitées par l'establishment médical occidental. Dans l'essai, Stone critique la recherche médicale et la théorie qui jugent les personnes transgenres trop irrationnelles ou abîmées psychologiquement pour se représenter, ainsi que l'institutionnalisation du passing et son rôle dans la reproduction des normes binaires de genre qu'elle considère comme sexistes. Stone soutient que ces phénomènes sociaux ont empêché les personnes trans de participer à la construction de leur propre discours et ont des conséquences psychiques, sociales et politiques négatives. En réponse, elle propose la formation d'un contre-discours qui perturbe les compréhensions binaires du genre, permettant ainsi aux personnes transgenres de parler en tant que sujets trans. Le travail a été réalisé en grande partie en réponse aux attaques personnelles de Janice Raymond dans son livre de 1979 The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male, ainsi qu'au harcèlement ciblé que Stone a subi quand elle travaillait chez Olivia Records.

  • "The Empire Strikes Back: A Posttranssexual Manifesto" is a 1987 essay written by Sandy Stone. Stone's essay is considered to be the founding text of transgender studies in academia, with other critical transgender works emerging after it. The essay examines how transgender women have historically been viewed, studied, and treated by the western medical establishment. In the essay, Stone critiques medical research and theory that deem transgender individuals too illogical or damaged to represent themselves, as well as the institution of passing and its role in the reproduction of binary gender and sexist social norm. Stone argues that these social phenomena have precluded transgender individuals from participating in their own discourse, and bear negative psychic, social, and political consequences. In response, she proposes the formation of a counter-discourse that disrupts binary understandings of gender, thereby allowing transgender individuals to speak as transgender subjects. The work was made largely in response to personal attacks made by Janice Raymond in her 1979 book The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male, as well as targeted harassment Stone experienced during her employment at Olivia Records.
