Hormonalna infrapolityka znośnego życia – kilka uwag o byciu trans i na hormonach
Hormonal Infrapolitics of a Bearable Life: About Being Trans and About Hormones

Summary/Abstract: Cisnormative analyses of trans people’s approach to sex hormone therapy (HRT)tend to present trans people in a shallow, banally oppositional way, as passiveobjects of influence from the transnational capital and knowledge-power flows ofthe pharmaceutical industry. The article critically examines the above phenomenonby beginning from the author’s private experience as a trans woman in the processof medical transition in order to present an alternative perspective on HRT. Using thetheoretical framework introduced in James C. Scott’s anarchist anthropology, the articleshows how trans people’s hormonal practices can be understood as the implementationof intermediate areas of agency in search of a bearable life.
