What are little boys made of? What are little girls made of? In the process of creation, you embark on the journey to become who you are. Someone is never just a boy or a girl, as one's sexuality is an ongoing process through which one is always becoming and reinventing ways of being. Therefore, human beings become subject to creation under the surveillance of society and culture. Are subjects more than what they become? Marjorie Garber addresses the definition of “male subjectivity” in her essay by asking what male subjectivity is and where exactly transsexuals and transvestites fit into this cultural fantasy. By definition, male subjectivity is “recuperative cultural fantasy, a theoretical formation starting from female subjectivity,” where the latter has evolved as a politically necessary critique of the universal subject, “man” (321). By coining this term, society returns power to men due to the fact that "to be a subject is to have a phallus" (322). Therefore, in having a phallus there is no room for equality or for a term like female subjectivity, where equality is the foundation. This phallus, also known as the penis, is at the center of Garber's essay which examines what it means to have a penis and the ways in which penis construction is both mentally and physically a challenge that trans people experience in their ongoing sexuality . In this essay, I will argue that the penis misrepresents masculinity and transsexual life within the blurred boundaries of a person's appealing gender identity. In reality, trans life is sufficient without the surveillance of becoming and doing according to heteronormative cultures, which therefore deprive the sexual organ of becoming or doing man or woman. Garber explores this concept in......middle paper......, literally adhering to female desire and reaffirming his own masculinity. Therefore, transvestites create a space that is personal and also public where both genders and sexuality can coincide. Garber mentions the penis insignia validity of Stroller's observation of transvestites in pronography as the highlight of the eager images. Transvestites are displayed in female erotic clothing while their “cocks and balls” (324) are still exposed. The exposure of the male's cock and calls determines heteronormativity and makes the transvestite's ambiguity disappear. The desirous image then forces the concept of exposure to all transvestites to be desirous. The presentation of cock and balls reaffirms the transvestite's emblem of masculinity. Garber challenges the construction of gender by starting from the premise that male subjectivity is non-existent.
