520 _aThe authors propose an analysis of the relations that exist between norms and psychoanalysis based on a discussion about the status given to transsexuality by psychoanalytical knowledge. Methodologically, we discuss the definition of “cisgender”—i.e. the opposite of “transgender”—not as a synonym for “normal,” but rather as the construction of an identity and a relationship with the gendered body that is as problematic as that of individuals deemed as trans subjects. Thus, considering the works of Judith Butler, Georges Canguilhem, Sigmund Freud, and Jacques Lacan, we work through the hypothesis of the inexistence of normality within sexual identity. Given that all speaking beings benefit from a libidinal body, which is nonetheless subjected to the normative frame of gender, there can be no coincidence with regard to the existence of the real of the drive, the ego’s unified specular image, and the signifiers that mark the gendered body—whether as trans or cis subjects.
