根据对65名从男性到女性的变性者的采访数据，作者研究了变性人的出局经历。这些文献表明，性别问题是社会基础设施的固有组成部分，在个人层面上与其他人的互动是相伴而生的，这些文献表明，对性别问题的互动挑战不足以挑战性别制度。尽管许多跨性别者认为他们的行为和身份认同是对性别二元制度的激进挑战，但事实上，大多数这样的人加强和具体化了他们希望改变的制度。
Drawing on data from interviews with 65 masculine-to-feminine transgenderists, the authors examine the canting-out experiences of transgendered individuals. Drawing on the literature that shows gender to be an inherent component of the social infrastructure that at an individual level is accompanied in interaction with others, they demonstrate that interactional challenges to gender are insufficient to challenge the system of gender. Whereas many transgenderists believe that their actions and identifies are radical challenges to the binary system of gender; in fact, the majority of such individuals reinforce and reify the system they hope to change.
