摘要

这篇文章追溯了雅各布·托比亚2019年出版的回忆录《娘娘腔:性别故事的到来》中女性气质、服装和幽默的交织。它首先讨论了社会对女性和酷儿女性气质的贬低。然后，它认为，在Sissy中，这种女性气质主要是通过衣服来实现的，衣服是主人公身份的象征和代理，是体现快乐的来源，也是叙事的组织元素。最后，这篇文章表明Tobia用幽默来对抗针对她们的女性气质的贬值，并将这种女性气质作为骄傲，坚韧和快乐的场所。

“Sky-high, matte black faux snakeskin heals”: Femininity, clothes, and humor in Jacob Tobia’s Sissy

The article traces the interweaving of femininity, clothes, and humor in Jacob Tobia’s 2019 memoir Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story. It first discusses the societal devaluation of the femme and queer femininity Tobia textually constructs. It then argues that in Sissy, this femininity is enacted primarily through clothes, which appear as a symbol and a proxy for the protagonist’s identity, a source of embodied pleasures, and an organizing element of the narrative. Finally, the article demonstrates that Tobia employs humor to counter the devaluation targeting their kind of femininity, and to reclaim this femininity as a site of pride, resilience, and joy.
