Can The Monster Speak? A Report To An Academy Of Psychoanalysts by Paul B. Preciado
A Report to an Academy of Psychoanalysts
Framed as a confrontational address to psychoanalysts, this essay reclaims the figure of the “monster” to expose how the discipline and broader medical culture have pathologized trans and nonbinary lives. Blending personal testimony with philosophy and history, it critiques colonial, heteronormative, and phallocentric foundations of knowledge, showing how contemporary technologies and lived experience unsettle rigid sex and gender binaries. It ultimately demands that psychoanalysis learn to listen and change, recognizing trans existence as a generative form of knowledge rather than a disorder.
