In this brief paper the authors retake the freudian statement "anatomy is the destiny" in the light of the concepts of Lacan’s 20th Seminar and Jacques-Alain Miller’s proposals about this subject. The real impossible - the nonexistence of the sexual relationship - isn’t experienced in the same way in men and women. Then it is necessary to reconsider the value of psychic consequences of the anatomic difference between sexes. In opposition to an identification process in what the sexual body is not determinant, the authors intend to show that the sexual difference is what is the very real in the subjetivation process.
