Genuine actions are those springing from unified agents. This chapter argues that Nietzschean refers to a relation between drives and conscious thought: unity obtains when the agent’s attitude toward her own action is stable under the revelation of further information about the action’s etiology.
Our fundamental tactic of self‐protection, self‐control, and self‐ definition is not spinning webs or building dams, but telling stories; and more particularly concocting and controlling the story we tell others—and ourselves—about who we are. …

Consider the Freudian dictum that “the ego is first and foremost a body ego.” For Trans persons, there seems nothing unusual here as the dictum is lived in...
