re: Sleepy Foucault Posting: Cultural Discourse of Sexuality, Transphobia, Institutional Psychology {Tri} 

I mean, look at Blanchard's regime in Canada, and tell me he wasn't an institutionally-endorsed sex abuser, whose role within the institution was to not only police trans people, but to force us to internalise *self-policing* as habitual background behaviour before access to transition resources (incl. legal & social validation and protection) was granted by the state.

This policing centred around the erasure of trans identities and trans sexualities via imposing a medicalized framework of power, both external power, and that which is drilled into the subject's self-narrative and self-beliefs by the institution
