Abstract

Right from the beginning of the modern society, the heterosexual matrix is one of the most frequent normative orders that has been reproduced: every man is masculine and heterosexual, whereas every woman is feminine and heterosexual. This is a kind of order which draws the normality of a continuous based upon sex-gender-desire trichotomy with perfect symmetry. The present paper aims to test that order by using a trick that will help us to judge it: the process will be reverse performing someone's trial charged with trying to escape from the matrix, then accusing order will take the centre of a de-constructive approach. Therefore, transgender identities will become those arrangements capable of ruining the harmonic normativity of sex-gender-desire order.
