I argue that, in George Eliot’s early, definitive statement of realism in the seventeenth chapter of Adam Bede, realism will only have been accomplished when readers have learned not merely to respect, but to desire, the dysphorically sexed bodies of others. In this sense, I argue, realism shares a central tenet with two of the more controversial and, frankly, neglected dimensions of Freudian thinking—which Sigmund Freud himself took to be indipensable components in the treatment of neurotics—castration complex and penis envy. Though post-Freudian analysts have frequently found these dimensions of libidinal embodiment distasteful, to trans people they are central and in certain respects definitive aspects of social participation. Hence, while trans studies tends to eschew psychoanalysis altogether, and the only psychoanalysts to write about trans people tend to be Lacanians for whom Freud’s therapeutic ambitions were frequently mystified, reappraising the realist dimension of psychoanalytic practice can reveals the trans logic at the core of both Freud’s project and Eliot’s.

超现实主义、精神分析实践和技术修辞

我认为，在乔治·艾略特 (George Eliot) 在亚当·比德 (Adam Bede) 第 17 章中对现实主义的早期明确陈述中，只有当读者不仅学会了尊重，而且学会了渴望他人的烦躁的性别身体时，现实主义才能实现。在这个意义上，我认为，现实主义与弗洛伊德思想中两个更具争议性且坦率地说被忽视的维度（西格蒙德·弗洛伊德本人认为这是治疗神经症不可或缺的组成部分）共享一个中心原则——阉割情结和阴茎嫉妒。尽管后弗洛伊德分析家经常发现力比多体现的这些维度令人反感，但对跨性别者来说，它们是社会参与的核心，并且在某些方面是决定性的方面。因此，虽然跨性别研究倾向于完全避开精神分析，
