It narrates, therefore, the objections that censure and question the decision of this body to dispense with its uterus, an organ perceived as threatening and inconsequential, although for the biopower it is relegated as an object of moral and political interference. Then, against the heterolinear and prefigured ways of futurity, this body finds in the void a space of agency and resignification of bonding and affective possibilities for life outside of cisheteronormative coherences, scripts and mandates. Como esbozo de autoteoría, este trabajo se ocupa de conformar un archivo de anécdotas micropolíticas y personales basadas en el tránsito de un cuerpo asexual por los protocolos biopolíticos diseñados para la supervivencia de un cáncer de mama, pero también para la preservación de su capacidad gestante. Narra, por lo tanto, las objeciones que censuran y cuestionan la decisión de este cuerpo de prescindir de su útero, un órgano que se percibe como amenazante e inconsecuente, aunque para el biopoder se releve como objeto de injerencia moral y política. Entonces, en contra de las vías heterolineales y prefiguradas de futuridad, este cuerpo encuentra en el vacío un espacio de agenciamiento y de resignificación de las posibilidades vinculares y afectivas para la vida por fuera de las coherencias, guiones y mandatos cisheteronormativos.
