- W1505672243 abstract "At the violet hour when the eyes and back Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits Like a taxi throbbing waiting I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives Old man with wrinkled female breasts, can see -T. S. Eliot Waste Land In presenting the daily struggles of a working-class person, a person who fits into neither prescribed category, Leslie Feinberg's first novel, Stone Butch Blues (1993), exposes the quotidian practices through which fixed gendered and sexual identities are culturally constructed and systematically imposed. Stone Butch Blues chronicles pre-Stonewall(1) working-class and gay and lesbian life and struggles in the urban Northeast and the conflicts between those struggles and the women's liberation movement. Feinberg employs narrative fiction to foreground the interrelationship of class structures and constraints. This essay examines the interrelationship of gendered identity development, socioeconomic structures, and resistance to oppression in Stone Butch Blues. achievement of Feinberg's award-winning novel is not that it is the first novel to tell the story of a person, but that it is the first to embrace transgendered as an identity.(2) Stone Butch Blues addresses a experience that is just beginning to see the light of day in both the medical and the popular literature on the subject: that of the female-to-male (FTM) subject.(3) Stone Butch Blues makes it clear that FTM expression is a complex identity in its own right. very terms FTM and MTF are inadequate-Feinberg might argue-in their suggestion that anyone whose expression falls outside of either F or M is moving towards the expression of the opposite gender. Feinberg's novel is the first work of fiction about a person to interrogate the notion that if one is uncomfortable with one's assigned identity, there is something wrong with the one experiencing the discomfort rather than with the cultural institutions doing the assigning. novel implicitly interrogates the American Psychiatric Association's official construction of gender identity disorder (g. i. d.), a construction that has recently been challenged by transgender activists.(4) Stone Butch Blues implies that the of dysphoria (upon which the g. i. d. diagnosis is based) infects the dominant culture, and that it is a disease with difference.(5) concept of transgender has been seized upon by theorists because it deconstructs the naturalness of and challenges the biological categories upon which identity has been constructed as dependent. Transgendered subjects exist not in a outside of but in a in which does not necessarily follow naturally from sex, in which biological sex is often a mutable construct.(6) It is important to note, however, that definitions are contested in this realm. Neither communities nor those who theorize speak with a monolithic voice. Not all subjects, activists, and scholars, for example, endorse Marjorie Garber's concept of a third space outside of binaries.(7) Nor do all agree that the concept of transgender brings biological categories into question. For many persons, the notion of identity is the locus of transgender subjectivity. Feinberg portrays the relationship between the body, and desire as not contingent on any natural factors, and as subject to change. The transgenderist, argues Anne Bolin, disput[es] the entire concept of consistency between sexual orientation and gender, a concept that Stone Butch Blues undermines.(8) categories that define/confine desire-gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual-are dependent on notions of gendered identity and biological sex. Same-sex desire, for example, takes on a new and paradoxical meaning if the very notion of sex is problematized. …" @default.
