Previous research has explored the affiliation and distancing strategies employed in published memoirs of gender transition. In this article, we are particularly interested in elucidating the ways in which individuals construct identities and characterize their sexualities, and how sociohistorical constraints might influence what is expressed with respect to this in personal narratives of transition. Using the memoirs of Lili Elbe (Hoyer, 1933) and Joy Ladin (2013) as conceptual brackets, this article investigates the complex relationship between the development and articulation of trans* identities and lesbian sexualities within the context of published memoirs of gender transition.
以往的研究探讨了已发表的性别转变回忆录中所采用的归属和疏离策略。在本文中，我们特别感兴趣的是阐明个体构建身份以及描述其性取向的方式，以及社会历史限制如何可能影响在个人转变叙述中关于这方面所表达的内容。本文以莉莉·艾尔伯（霍耶，1933年）和乔伊·拉丹（2013年）的回忆录为概念框架，研究在已发表的性别转变回忆录背景下，跨性别身份的发展与表达和女同性恋性取向之间的复杂关系。
