| Summary: | Based on research into how psy-knowledge describes and interprets therapeutic processes related to gender and sexuality, this study analyzes the narratives of psychologists and psychiatrists in terms of how they address issues related to the act of listening. The analysis takes into account legal changes, personal experiences, and patient consultations in therapy. The unique features of the Argentinian context, with its advances in acquired rights through sexual dissident activism, make this study particularly relevant. It examines how specific psy knowledge has produced certain ways of categorizing and making interventions that are beginning to be discussed. This brings into play reproduced notions of identity based on the idea of sex as something biological, the female/male binary. This process is analyzed as a change in the ways of listening that lead to shifts in the politics of recognition and identity. Narrative analysis was used to examine the data. The qualitative research consisted of thirty, in-depth interviews with psychologists and psychiatrists working in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
