Abstract

The logic of sexuation, by Jacques Lacan, is presented in opposition to the notion of gender, constructed as the matrix for transsexuality intelligibility. The Lacanian approach of sinthome is developed as an alternative to think on singular solutions for sexual impasses, through the depathologization bias. It is concluded that transsexuality, instead of an inescapable psychotic forcing, may be an inventive solution coordinated to the clinic of the sinthome.
