Gender Identity

Rach Cosker-Rowland’s subjective fit account of gender identity is both original and philosophically powerful. * Professor Ray Briggs, University of Chicago *An excellent, important, and timely piece of philosophical work that brings the tools of metaethics to bear on the philosophy of gender in a fresh and exciting way, resulting in a ‘subjective fit’ account of gender identity that is innovative and elegant. * Professor Katharine Jenkins, University of Glasgow *A fascinating, well-argued, and generally clear account of gender identity, of why gender identities should be respected, and of the various rights and normative considerations that issue from gender identity. […] Moreover, the author effectively engages with ‘gender-critical’ as well as general philosophical scepticism about gender identity. * Professor Stephanie Kapusta, Dalhousie University *
