As transsexual and transgender identity and experience have emerged from the outer boundaries of sexual identity and have become part of mainstream awareness of the full potential for sexual self-definition, cultural response has ranged widely. Responses include acceptance and approval; moderate levels of anxiety concerning perceptions of gender, sexual identity, and sex; obsessive fascination with the "otherness," the "not-me-ness" of those identifying as transsexual or transgender; the desire of non-trans-people to co-opt the experience of trans-people without personal risk; alarm at the reification of gender roles in what some people hoped would be a non-gender-defined, gender-neutral future. And more.
随着变性者和跨性别者的身份认同及经历从性身份认同的边缘地带浮现出来,并成为性自我定义全部潜能的主流认知的一部分,文化反应呈现出广泛的范围。这些反应包括接受与认可;对性别、性身份和性的认知存在适度焦虑;对那些认定自己为变性者或跨性别者的“他者性”“非我性”有着痴迷的迷恋;非跨性别者渴望在不承担个人风险的情况下挪用跨性别者的经历;对性别角色具体化的警觉,而有些人原本期望的是一个没有性别定义、性别中立的未来。等等。
