Discourses of disclosure: the un/revolutionary potential of transmasculine sexual scripts

Résumé

This paper discusses the discourses around transidentity or transness disclosure in sexual contexts that have been collected during an ethnographic research on transmasculine sexualities carried out in France between 2019 and 2023. Focusing on the way in which disclosing is inscribed in transmasculine sexual scripts, it intends to address three points. First, it will show that disclosure is part of a specific and strategic management of its temporalities in relation to the other. Secondly, it will expose an unthought-of aspect of the discourses on disclosure: the fact that disclosure is considered mandatory when the desired partner is perceived as perhaps not being aware of it. This unthought reveals different power dynamics at work, which will, thirdly, be reconsidered against a marginal counter-narrative of voluntary non-disclosure that emerged in the course of the research, allowing for new perspectives on the ways of thinking about the scripts and their contingencies.
