This article examines trans commercial production of penile prosthetics, the efficacy of such products in personal and sex-segregated spaces, and their negative valence in the public sphere. Responding to his own experience of gender dysphoria, Transthetics founder Alex designs and produces products for the reparative and enabling embodiment of trans men. Penile prosthetics reflect the longstanding tension between aesthetics and function in the history of prosthetic limbs. The author posits ‘stealth aesthetics’ as a function-injected realism that pushes into reality via utilization of prosthetics in the performance of real life. For some trans men, the phenomenologically incorporated prosthetic is tantamount to a corporeal penis. Cisnormativity, however, outlaws this equivalence. Recent prosecutions of penile prosthetic embodiment as ‘gender fraud’ punitively restrict trans men’s claim on reality, instead exposing their private bodies to public judgment, where genitals produce gender. By contrast, the author advocates the authorization of gender to produce genitals.

跨性别男人的隐形美学：导航阴茎假肢和“性别欺诈”

本文考察了阴茎假肢的跨商业生产、此类产品在个人和性别隔离空间中的功效，以及它们在公共领域的负面影响。针对他自己的性别不安经历，Transthetics 创始人 Alex 设计并生产了用于修复和促进跨性别男性化身的产品。阴茎假肢反映了假肢历史上美学与功能之间长期存在的张力。作者将“隐身美学”假定为一种注入功能的现实主义，它通过在现实生活中使用假肢来推动现实。对于一些跨性别男人来说，从现象学上结合的假肢就相当于一个实体的阴茎。然而，Cisnormativity 禁止这种等价。最近将阴茎假体体现为“性别欺诈”的起诉惩罚性地限制了跨性别男性对现实的主张，而是将他们的私人身体暴露在公共判断之下，在那里生殖器产生性别。相比之下，作者主张通过性别授权来生产生殖器。
