2. An apartment on Uranus: Chronicles of the crossing
The philosopher and art curator Paul B. Preciado analyzes his transformation process in an autobiographical work that takes the concept of uranism, coined by the German activist Karl-Heinrich Ulrichs to refer to the third sex, as a starting point: “My trans condition is a new form of uranism. I'm not a man. I'm not a woman. I'm not straight. I am not homosexual. I am a dissident of the sex-gender system. I am the multiplicity of the cosmos enclosed in a binary epistemological and political regime, screaming in front of you. I am a Uranian on the fringes of techno-scientific capitalism."
