摘要

改編自小說的《我就是我》是英國電影史上第一部男變女變性者電影。以目前有關性別認同與變性慾望的理論概念以及研究成果作為論述基礎，運用文本分析方法進行解讀與詮釋。這部電影在早期資訊匱乏的時代裡，就已經「預見」男變女變性者現身前後試圖融入現實社會必須面臨的各種難題。作為再現機制的電影，描繪男變女變性者的生命事件與變性旅程，細膩地貼近她們的真實經驗講述性別認同與變性慾望，並明確提出她們遭遇的各種難題編織組構文本肌理。《我就是我》建立二十二個難題，並以它們為基礎推展故事情節，形成男變女變性者電影敘事的特殊性。

Adapted from the novel I Want What I Want was the first male-to-female transsexual film in British film history. This article uses the current theoretical concepts and empirical researches results on gender identity and transsexualism as the bases of the arguments, using text analysis to read and interpret. This article believes that in the early era of lack of information, this film had already ＂foreseen＂ the various problems that male-to-female transsexuals must face before and after their emergences in trying to integrate into the real society. As a reproduction apparatus, the film depicts the life events and transsexual trip of male-to-female transsexual, delicately closes to their real experiences, tells gender identity and transsexualism, and clearly proposes the various problems they encounter to weave the texture of the text. This article finds that I Want What I Want establishes 22 difficult problems, and uses them as the bases to promote the storyline, forming the particularity of the narrative of the male-to-female transsexual film.
