Gross and euphoric, the transgender allegory is deeply tied to David Cronenberg’s newest film.
There are obvious parallels to the reaction to Tenser’s transhuman performances and the ways queer people are seen when they exist publicly in our own society.
When Timlin makes a pass at him, he retreats. He’s not good at the “old sex.” The kind of sex that a body has with another body. Instead, he finds release through “new sex,” he explains, the kind of euphoric realization of a new body that comes out of surgery. Besides the sexualization of surgical procedures there is the appearance of a sex organ made by surgery as part of this, which is often part of the trans experience.
rans people often want too, the freedom to be obvious about their bodies and their gender performance. At the end of the film, there’s a question of will. Has Tenser been willing these body parts to emerge? Has he found an emergent way to become transhuman? Or is this just the next step of human biology, the inevitable path of a human body simply saying “? Within this we can read a transgender fantasy: if we want to change, if we know that this change is necessary, if we are in an incomplete body, it will just fix itself.
