本研究肯認Judith Butler 性別展演論之「可能的跨性別化」確為
當代跨性別研究的經典。然而，社會建構論等偏向卻產生某種跨性別
盲點，以致於無法對性跨界和性別跨越的顛覆性進行過程分析與倫理
判斷。透過皮膚自我（skin ego）和後跨性論（posttranssexuality）的
觀點，輔以1950 年代台灣首起「跨男疑雲」的劉敏事件為例，本研究
直指男／娘當道得以微調並再論性別展演論之「可能的跨性別化」，據
此揭櫫跨性（別）者肉身存在所體現的構成性外在（constitutive
outside）與性別惑亂效應。

This paper begins by acknowledging Judith Butler’s theory of gender
performativity, particularly the “possible transgendering” of such
performativity. This theory has become a cornerstone in contemporary
transgender studies. However, the theoretical orientation of social
constructionism and related perspectives tends to exhibit transgender
blindness, which limits the ability to conduct process-oriented analysis and
ethical evaluation of the subversive nature of sexed crossing and gender
transgression. This study draws on perspectives such as skin ego and
posttranssexuality and employs the Liu Min incident (the first “trans man
suspicion” in Taiwan in the 1950s) as an example to highlight how the power
rhetoric of empowering s/he can modify and redirect attention to the
“possible transgendering” of gender performativity. In doing so, this study
reveals the effect of the constitutive outside and the embodiment of gender
trouble in transsexual and transgender corporeality.
