"Gender Without Identity" featuring Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini challenges static notions of gender identity, advocating for a more nuanced and complex understanding of gender. The authors discuss the ethical importance of recognizing gender as emerging from processes of self-theorization, while also addressing the ongoing attacks faced by the LGBTQ+ community within psychoanalysis. They explore topics such as the impact of trauma on gender, the figure of the child in clinical work, and the need for creating a therapeutic space for patients to define their own identities. With a focus on gender improvisation and experimentation, this podcast delves into radical new ways of working with gender diversity psychoanalytically.
