The aim of this work is to analyze the issues of identity, gender and sexuality in Radclyffe Hall s The Well of Loneliness and in Leslie Feinberg s Stone Butch Blues. The focus of this analysis lies in the main characters of the two novels, Stephen Gordon and Jess Goldberg, who live multiple conflicts since their gender identity and gender expression are not in consonance with their biological sex. The theoretical-methodological fundaments of this thesis are based on the concepts of the theory of the body, on the postmodern conceptualization of identity and the concepts of gender and sexuality, as well as their unfolding. Among the relevant concepts developed for this analysis are the transgenders and transsexuals, once the protagonists display features which are congruent with both categories. Concerning the development of the characters Jess and Stephen, one can notice the multiple and processual nature of the post modern identity, which has a whole range of aspects related to gender and sexuality as (trans)forming elements
