Abstract
ABSTRACT This discussion focuses on review of writing about phantom penis and phantom limb, considering how these data and research address the question of pleasure and sexuality in trans and gender-nonbinary persons. Implications of this work on phantom penis and prosthetic penis forms for thinking of brain structure, embodiment, and fantasy as sexuality are shaped and expressed in many different kinds of persons.

Beginning in the final two decades of the 20th century, the study of gender and sexuality has been revived from a variety of directions: the traditions of feminist scholarship, postclassical and postmodern psychoanalytic theory, developmental research, and cultural studies have all contributed to renewed fascination with those powerfully formative aspects of subjectivity that fall within the rubric of "gender" and "sexuality." Clinicians, for their part, have returned to gender and sexuality with heightened sensitivity to the role of these constructs in the treatment situation, including the richly variegated ways in which assumptions about gender and sexuality enter into our understandings of "normality" and "pathology."
