What Gender Should Be
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-32897-6 (ISBN)
Developing an explicitly political version of conceptual engineering, What Gender Should Be contains novel and powerful arguments both against existing theories of gender such as family resemblance accounts and against gender abolition, underlining how each is insufficient for thinking about and doing justice to contemporary transgender identities and politics. Instead, Matthew J. Cull argues that we should be pluralists about gender, putting forward and advocating for a position that is more apt for contemporary transgender and feminist activism. The 21st century requires a new way of thinking about gender. What Gender Should Be sets out to provide it.
Matthew J. Cull is a philosopher at the University of Edinburgh, UK. Their work covers a variety of areas in social and political philosophy, focusing in particular on feminist and transgender philosophy. Matthew's writing has previously appeared in venues such as Philosophical Papers, Feminist Philosophy Quarterly, and The Journal of Social Ontology.
