Purpose
– This is a cautionary tale. In previous research on male-to-female transsexuals, the author's analysis was too knowing, detached, and full of authorial superiority. In other words, it was too masculine. The paper aims to discuss theses issues.
Design/methodology/approach
– In this paper, the author brings to the fore the deleterious effects of the masculinist method. The author then writes a palinode in order to allow masculinity and male to be performed and un/tethered differently by and on different bodies and different subjects.
Findings
– The paper concludes with a discussion of how a masculinist method emerged and its consequences.
Originality/value
– This is a revised look at the author's previous work on the subject.
