Un falocentrismo sui géneris

The Gender Identity, Equal Marriage and Assisted Reproduction Laws, promulga- ted in our country in recent years, caused a profound transformation in identity po- licies, visibility and respect for differences in Argentina. The new legal status of ma- rriage, which recognizes the possibility of sexualities and familiarities outside bio- logy and compulsory heterosexuality, as well as the freedom to choose ones own gender, are a source of intellectual debates to which psychoanalysis has not escaped.In recent developments on human sexua- lity, the critique of the phallocentricism of psychoanalysis resounds insistently, as if it were a privilege of man. Psychoanalysis has always been accused of phallocentric, but in any case it has been thought more of as a peniscentric one.But why would the phallus be the best symbol of the sexual for the both sexes? Is it because of the visibility of the penis? What Lacan values is that if the phallus can adopt a symbolic value it is due to detumescence and not to its turgid ima- ge. The authentic dismantling of phallo- centrism is not to oppose identities thatre-inscribe it and are multiplied in genres, but to make the logic of non-everything appears.
