In this paper I turn to four memoirs depicting a different notion of transition that are grounded in gender but that suggest a wider world of experience.: physicality (age, illness, disability), sexuality and relationality. The memoirs I selected focus on the problem of the arts of transitioning: the way in which people make changes and make decisions because of the situation they are in. Some changes are accidental, some are consequences of desire. When we aestheticize it this way, memoirs provide us ways to understand what it means to think about the self as something that is created. In unpacking each narrative as unique figurations of transitioning, I show how each gives us a foothold into a new way of imagining gender. This approach bears on an urgent question: how can we translate the insights of this reading into a renewed clinical way of listening to gender, so that we are relevant to the patients that we are seeing?
