Description
What Gender Should Be by Matthew J. Cull is a philosophical exploration of gender that challenges existing theories and arguments. Drawing on feminist and transgender perspectives, Cull makes the case for gender pluralism: the idea that there should be more than two genders and that each gender term has multiple meanings.
The book offers a novel approach to thinking about gender, one that is both critically engaged with and opposed to existing theories of gender. Cull argues that we need a new way of understanding gender in order to do justice to contemporary transgender identities and politics.
Published in 2024, What Gender Should Be sets out to provide this new approach, offering a powerful and thought-provoking argument for the importance of pluralism about gender. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy, feminist theory, or transgender studies.
