Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this article the author, a trans male psychoanalyst, explores the experience of using the male locker room. The article will seek to formulate this experience using the psychoanalytic writings of Fonagy, Bromberg, and Harris in order to address the collapse of symbolization and nullification of potential space enforced by such traditional and uniquely gendered binary spaces. This author argues that in such spaces, Harris’s conceptualization of gender as soft assembly cannot be upheld under the threat of exposure and the trauma of gender misrecognition.
