Yesterday I was at Uni, watching a presentation of graduate students. One gave a presentation on Transsexuals, it was interesting, but I felt it dismissed the identities of transsexual people. As if transitioning is somehow a response to heteronormalcy, yet to transition is an act of agency. When people find out you are a transsexual they stop seeing as your preferred gender and only see your birth gender.
To be a transsexual makes every sexual act political. Also I think the presenter could have used Julia Serano's Cocky as an example rather than a drag queen.
