The deconstruction of proper names in the nomination for transvestites

Abstract

This article argues that the act of nomination for transvestites, deconstructs
those appropriate functions and elements that have been attributed to the name itself, as are: sex-gender correspondence, personal identity, biographic lineality and Lacan´s Name-of-the-Father function. This nomination is presented as an inappropriate act that makes it possible to think of the name as a trace that doesn’t not stand for a unique subject representing these elements.
