Il, the first autobiography by a trans man, Daniel Van Oosterwyck, declared a girl at birth, shows just how long and trying the process of changing gender and sex was in the 1970s. The aim of this autobiography is to provide an insight into the feelings of someone who experiences himself as profoundly masculine. Fifty years on, Paul B. Preciado’s chronicles in Un appartement sur Uranus denounce the confinement of sex and gender identity and the obligation to think of the world in binary terms. His transition to masculinity goes beyond desire to be a man: it’s a revolutionary political act aimed at breaking down categories and creating a new epistemology that gives a proper place to the third, to the margin, to gender dissidence.
