Halberstam (Female Masculinity and In a Queer Time and Place) and Jay
Prosser (Second Skins) has shown, the category of gender has become

literature. While Diana Fuss (Identification Papers) and others have
explored the way in which identification, understood in psychoanalytic
terms, confounds the project of staking claim to identities, there has
been little work in queer theory that has sought to understand the
difficulties that desire poses for that same project. Accustomed to
thinking of the subject in a Freudian manner—as formed by the history of
