What Gender Should Be

More about the book

Exploring the concept of gender, this book advocates for 'ameliorative pluralism,' proposing a framework that recognizes multiple genders and meanings. By integrating philosophy with feminist and transgender theories, it critiques traditional gender theories developed after the 1980s, such as family resemblance and Butlerian performativity. Matthew Cull argues for a pluralistic approach to gender that aligns with contemporary transgender and feminist activism, aiming to reshape our understanding of gender in the 21st century.
