What is the Body Capable of? What is the Body for?

In Kelley Winter's essay Maligning Terminology in the DSM: the Language of Oppression she states:
"I'm speaking of affirmed transwomen being called "he" and transmen being called "she." I use the term Maligning Language to describe this specific kind of verbal violence." (1)
I wonder what an authentic replacement to this verbal violence (concerning gender and identity) that Kelley refers to would look like...I wonder what types of spaces would necessarily evolve, if we as a species were somehow more precisely able to focus our gestures and efforts on the continued re-structuring and imagining of the places where these violences take place.
