这篇文章探讨了在整容手术和变性手术之间进行类比或类比的各种可能性，重点是关于整形手术在医学上是必要的，而整容手术不是--这一观点具有很强的修辞能力。作者认为，这种不同的类比既没有理解这些不同手术的接受者所使用的理由的复杂性，也应该被视为医疗实践中将对痛苦、性别认同和性别政治的特殊理解强加给跨性别者的各种尝试的症状。作者认为，对跨性别者强烈而内在的痛苦的吸引力，因为他们不能成为他们一直认为的常态化的性别化人，消除了跨性别者经历的多样性，并迫使跨性别者陷入怨恨的政治。
This article examines the various possibilities for making an analogy or disanalogy between cosmetic and trans surgeries, focusing on the suggestion that trans surgeries are medically necessary while cosmetic surgeries are not—a position that has a great deal of rhetorical force. The authors argue that this disanalogy both fails to understand the complexity of the justifications used by recipients of these diverse surgeries and should be seen as symptomatic of various attempts in medical practice to impose particular understandings of suffering, gender identity, and gender politics on trans patients. The appeal to the intense and intrinsic suffering of the trans patient because they cannot become the normatively gendered person they always believed themselves to be, the authors argue, elides the diversity of trans experience as well as coerces trans patients into a politics of ressentiment.
