Psychoanalysis and the Development of Woman

Psychoanalysis focuses on understanding the development of a woman rather than attempting to define what a woman is. It explores the transition from a child with a bisexual disposition to a fully developed woman, highlighting the complexities of this transformation. While there are interpretations that suggest Freud's work advocates for trans rights, there is also criticism. The prevailing narrative within his framework tends to link the concept of femininity to anatomy and biology, suggesting a teleological perspective that influences the understanding of women's identity.
