1:06:11 *Woman as structural position/relation toward phallus-not gender* “For me it is about the position-it’s about the positioning of the subject. In other words, I think that ‘what is Woman?’ is no longer a hysterics question, but even ‘being a woman’ or ‘not woman’ or ‘what does he or she want from me’ is also questioned by the person who is going through the process of transgender. And I don’t see that-‘What is woman?’, the question of what is Woman-is necessarily or always synonymous with, ‘what is my gender’. I think these are two different things. Perhaps if I have some thinking about the contemporary discourse of gender in a cultural domain I think people tend to conflate this question of ‘what is Woman’ from a psychoanalytic perspective with gender politics, with gender identities in a traditional sense-but I don’t think they are the same. […] 1:16:23 “still for me though, whether a trans person or even a man or woman without trans still can ask the question, _What is to be a Woman?_ That is what I return to. This is not an identity question-it is a question of desire. So whatever gender you assign yourself to, this question, it’s a question of the desire-not a question of ‘what is my gender box.’”
