Gendered embodiment is a series of acts of accommodation for the body we have towards a body we can call our own. The feeling of being ill at ease in one’s embodiment and subsequent resolution can be understood through Friston’s Free Energy Principle. The creative compromises that trans people construct to live as an embodied self will be explored through the neuropsychoanalytic lens of predictive processing. We will discuss the clinical work of transformation and accommodation in trans embodiment.
