Transsexualism: Illusion and Reality (2003)
Colette Chiland exhibits a masterful and
encyclopedic knowledge of transsexualism, drawing together the insights
of depth psychology, psychoanalysis, history, anthropology and sociology
for rethinking transsexualism in terms of identity, subjectivity and the
wider socio-historical world. This book is written with considerable
precision on complex, technical issues, whilst at the same time keeping
the broader question of the relationship between transsexualism and
society firmly in mind.

Exploring Transsexualism (2005)
In the case of sexuality and gender, can whatever is in
the mind be changed, perhaps with help of psychotherapy or otherwise,
rather than opt for external surgery? Is psychotherapeutic treatment
powerless in the case of transsexuals? This intriguing volume is a work
by a French psychoanalyst with extensive experience of working with
transsexuals. It is a useful addition to the debate on transsexuals and
the definitions of sex and gender. The word "transsexualism" was coined
in 1953, although transsexuals and intersexed people had existed long
before that, and surgery to reassign one’s sex is a relatively recent
phenomenon. Transsexuals feel that the opposite sex to their biological
one is their true identity - their true body and self. The idea of
"hormonal and surgical sex reassignment" appeals to them; it would
biologically put right what they already know to be right and true in
their minds. The author discusses the problems of "reassigning" one’s
sex and argues that surgery cannot fix the situation. Transsexualism as
a result of interaction with environment in infancy is seen as a more
shameful option compared to something biological happening to the body
while in utero. If this condition is seen as something merely
biological, it does not mark the person in question as psychologically
ill or unbalanced. This introductory text helps in looking at this
difficult, even taboo, issue from various angles. It acknowledges the
complexity of the subject and warns the readers against judgements being
made without knowing the full story behind the person.
