ABSTRACT

This chapter suggests that the body in sexual action is itself a dynamic force in generating sexual subjectivities. This is related to the way in which the praxeological aspects of sex are always corporeal and that corporeality is indivisibly related to individual agency. The chapter provides the contemporary, online iterations of nonbinary transgender communities through theoretical analysis. It presents the individual stories that connect to debates in transgendered communities. The chapter provides semi-structured interviews with individual trans people whose personal experiences with institutions are diverse, as are their opinions of the social situation of trans individuals in the Czech Republic. Where criticism appears in the interview sample, it is most commonly aimed at the three pillars of the current standard for medical and legal transition in the Czech Republic: naming conventions, compulsory sterilization, and the dissolution of marriage or a civil union as a prerequisite of gender recognition.
