*Translated by Stuart Gilbert, Penguin, 1960; translation modified.
* Throughout this chapter I use ‘he/she’ and ‘his/her’, selected to reflect the post-transition identity, rather than ‘ze’, ‘sie’, ‘hir’ as advocated by some transsexual writers, and as approved for example by the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences for use by students in September 2015. In all other cases I have used ‘they’, as has become increasingly accepted usage. I have also used the more familiar term ‘transsexuality’ rather than ‘transsexualism’, and ‘sex or gender reassignment surgery’ rather than ‘gender confirmation surgery’. Unless quoting, I have avoided ‘sex change’, which today is considered to be denigrating.
* The Centre extends its brief to consideration of trauma across Africa and beyond to include Zimbabwe, Nigeria/Biafra, Rwanda and Israel-Palestine. Following objections to their presence from members of the Palestine Solidarity Committee in support of BDS (the campaign in support of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions in relation to the Israeli government), the Israeli participants withdrew from the conference.
