ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book attempts to map out an ethics that relocates transgender subjectivity within a framework of present utopianism. Transgender politics are developed on a rigid understanding of the gender binary. The notion of actualisation has allowed this book to shift from a dimension of wishful fantasy to a grounded dialogue with the constraints of reality. Neither a fantasy nor hope, utopia is the expression of the autonomous materiality of a subjectivity that is too often suspended, neglected and trans-formed in favour of normative order. The intricacies of transgender subjectivity and the specific social and political significance claimed by some transgender individuals indicate that representational assimilation is a concern for those who wish to celebrate the specificity of their own unique experience. The determination of marginal bodies is the opportunity to make the specificity of their corporeal experience their own exclusive centre.
