巴特勒（不稳定的生活：暴力和暴力的力量。英国伦敦：Versa; 2004年）观察到9/11事件后立即发生的文化转变，并提出，关于可悲伤和不可悲伤的生活，社会权力结构“产生并维持了某些关于谁是规范上的人的排斥性概念”（第xiv-xv页）。目前的研究通过探索跨性别者在死亡后象征性的暴力去变性，为悲伤的概念带来了新的理解。这项探索性研究的目的是检查老年跨性别者（40岁）的思想和态度。O.另外）关于死后非自愿的去过渡现象以及他们对死后表达自己身份的期望。参与者的愿望被分为四个结果类别：希望仅作为他们的生活身份被纪念（25%）;仅作为他们出生时分配的身份（6%）;作为两种身份的结合（44%）;以及那些声称他们不关心他们的身份如何被纪念的人（25%）。我们的研究结果强调了开放和诚实的临终沟通的重要性，并强调了跨性别人群的多样性和跨性别身份的复杂性。
Butler (Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence. London, UK: Versa; 2004) observed cultural shifts immediately after 9/11 and suggested that, with regard to grievable and ungrievable lives, societal power structures “produce and maintain certain exclusionary conceptions of who is normatively human” (p. xiv–xv). The current study brings new understanding to the concept of grievability by exploring the symbolically violent de‐transitioning of trans people after their deaths. The aim of this exploratory study was to examine the thoughts and attitudes of older trans people (40 y. o. plus) with regard to the phenomenon of nonconsensual de‐transitioning after death and the expectations they have regarding the expression of their own identity after death. The wishes of the participants were grouped into four outcome categories: hoping to be memorialized only as their lived identity (25%); only as their identity‐assigned‐at‐birth (6%); as both identities combined (44%); and those who claimed that they did not care how their identity was memorialized (25%). Our findings serve to emphasize the importance of open and honest end‐of‐life communication as well as to underscore the diverse nature of the transgender population and the complexity of the transgender identity.
