Publication Type: Invited Paper Abstract: The evolution of Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” (“TVM”) to include an optional monologue focusing on the experiences of male-to-female trans individuals, serves as a point of departure for interrogating the popular play’s construction of the identity category “woman.” The optional monologue, “They Beat the Girl out of My Boy, Or So They Tried,” provides interesting opportunities for a more inclusive “TVM” experience; however, challenges remain for those who want to explore the play’s activist potential. Thinking and—more importantly—feeling our way through the process of brining “TVM” to the campus of a Jesuit University, while grappling with questions raised by the intersection of the play’s gender politics with a problematized (and hopefully more trans substantive) view of identity, provides the impetus for this paper.
