Abstract

Setting aside the controversies that currently polarize the trans issue, often raised by ideological intellectualist assumptions that are unrelated to the clinical practice, the author proposes a deep reflection based on his transference experience with a transgender adolescent in institutional care. This reflection illustrates how migrating to another gender can constitute an original solution fabricated by the subject in order to exist psychically when the violence of parental messages and childhood sexuality revived by puberty are regarded as a "condemnation to gender deconstruction" and an attack on the foundations of origins.
