The study entitled: "Trans men's sexual narrative-practices:

rans men's creative approaches to narratively resolving tensions between diverse embodiments and sense of maleness. Five specific strategies are mentioned: mutual exclusion (not occurring simultaneously); alignment (multiple enactments appear singular); translation (turning one thing into another); addition (adding enactments to create coherence); distribution (separate potentially inconsistent phenomena in time/space).

a) Describe 2 of these strategies, providing examples where possible. (6 points)

b) The authors contend that "materializing male bodies is a relational process". What does that mean in this context? (2 points)

c) How do these men's stories interrogate and subvert the typical clinical diagnosis and treatment of 'gender dysphoria'?(Refer to access to interventions and required narratives) (2 points)
