Abstract

ABSTRACT Two widely recognized transgender identity formations—the medical model, which emerged from the findings of mid-twentieth-century sexologist Harry Benjamin and is reliant on incremental hormonal and surgical interventions, and the social construct model, which relies on experiential standpoint within a poststructural frame—are often considered dichotomous, even oppositional, categories within the transgender social movement. Such political positioning suggests that they operate for their adherents as adversarial Foucauldian “regimes of truth.” This is demonstrated in the following recent study of transgender persons in Poland. The findings suggest elevated fracturing tensions that may find relief through a more inclusive community model that recognizes the widest diversity of variant gender identities through an encompassing of both, and all, gendered subdivisions.

论墙与桥:波兰跨社会的分裂与纽带
摘要两种被广泛认可的跨性别身份形成——医学模型和社会建构模型,前者来自20世纪中期性学家哈里·本杰明的发现,依赖于递增的激素和手术干预,后者依赖于后结构框架内的经验立场——通常被认为是二分的,甚至是对立的,跨性别者社会运动中的类别。这种政治定位表明,他们是作为对抗性的傅“真理政权”为追随者运作的。这一点在以下最近对波兰变性人的研究中得到了证明。研究结果表明,破裂的紧张局势加剧,可以通过一个更具包容性的社区模式来缓解这种紧张局势,该模式通过包容两个和所有性别细分领域来承认最广泛的不同性别身份多样性。
