The acknowledgement of the sexual aspect of living beings is an acceptance of lack (where the recognition that “I am sexed” stands for “I am not everything”); it is a sign of both our limitation and communality. Sexual difference thus reveals that we are neither universal (i.e. sex-less) nor singular.
