ResumoCassandra Rios in Georgette: Sex veste saia e calça and Rosamaría Roffiel in ¿Quieres que te lo cuente otra vez? defy the dichotomous sex/gender model by incorporating transgendered narratives that destroy the male/masculine and female/feminine division. Cassandra Rios and Rosamaría Roffiel stylistically imitate the traditional structures and values of fairy tales, with an intent to present contested issues of desire involving same-sex relationships. This article argues that by embodying both genders, the main characters widen the borders on gender embodiments and sexual identities by providing a model of inclusion and agency to redefine one’s bodily identity and desire. Keywords: Transgender. Sex. Identity. Cassandra Rios. Rosamaría Roffiel.
