本文探讨了与跨性别研究有关的“差异”概念。我首先概述了酷儿和后现代理论的重要性，这些理论利用“差异”将变性人纳入性和性别多样性的分析中。我借鉴跨性别研究中的争论，认为缺乏对特殊性的强调后结构主义和后现代理论导致了跨性别的同质化理论。我建议，目前的限制在酷儿跨性别的方法可以克服通过酷儿社会学框架内的理由性别差异的社会分析。根据最近对英国跨性别身份的实证研究结果，本文勾勒出一系列不同的主题立场下的“跨性别”。在这里，我探讨了跨性别叙事是通过不同的性别经历形成的，并与生成，过渡时间跨度，医疗，社会和文化的理解和实践的时间因素有关。
This article explores the concept of ‘difference’ in relation to studies of transgender. I initially outline the importance of queer and postmodern theory, which have utilised ‘difference’ to incorporate transgender into analyses of sexual and gender diversity. I draw on debates within transgender studies to argue that a lack of emphasis on particularity within poststructuralist and postmodern theory has led to a homogenous theorisation of transgender. I propose that current limitations within queer approaches to transgender can be overcome through a queer sociological framework which grounds gender difference within a social analysis. Drawing on findings from recent empirical research into transgender identities in the UK, the article sketches out a range of distinct subject positions under the umbrella of ‘transgender’. Here I explore the ways in which transgender narratives are formed through divergent gendered experiences and constructed in relation to temporal factors of generation, transitional time span, and medical, social and cultural understandings and practices.
