<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span style="color:black">Abstract:
</span></b><span style="color:#333333;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Some states, such as Hungary, have banned trans people from changing their genders on their legal identification documents. Tennessee, Kansas, Montana, and North Dakota have
recently enacted similar laws. We use our legal documents to access many goods. Being unable to change one’s gender marker on one’s legal documents has been shown to significantly harm trans people. Do we have rights to change our gender on our legal identification
documents? More generally, do we have rights to freedom of gender? This paper is in 4 parts. First, I sketch, and explain the plausibility of, the most popular account of the grounds of fundamental liberal rights to freedom of religious belief and expression,
namely that these rights are grounded in more general right to live and act with integrity. Second, argue that our rights to live and act with integrity establish that trans people have rights to be able to change their gender markers on their legal documents
so that they do not clash with their gender identities. In the third part of the paper, I draw out the implications of this argument for particular laws and policies. I argue that my argument establishes that: (i) wholesale bans on legal gender marker change
such as Hungary, Tennessee, Kansas, Montana, and North Dakota’s are unjust; (ii) surgery requirements on gender marker change, which are implemented in 11 US states are unjust; (iii) the UK’s policy of requiring non-binary people to have binary gender markers
on their passports is unjust; and (iv) there is a strong presumption in favour of policies, such as self-identification and gender decertification, that make it relatively easy for trans people to ensure that their gender markers do not clash with their gender
identities. The final part of the paper looks beyond freedom of legal gender identification to freedom of gender more generally. It argues that in addition to basic liberal rights to live and act with integrity we have basic liberal rights to equal and inclusive
treatment; these rights are also relevant to freedom of religion for they ground duties of state religious constraint. It then argues that our rights to equal and inclusive treatment and rights to live and act with integrity imply that we have rights to change
our legal gender (and not just our gender markers), rights to have the gender that we are presented as on others’ legal documents not clash with our gender identities, rights to freedom of gender expression, and duties on state officials not to assert that,
or adopt policies that imply that, trans people are not the genders that they take themselves to be.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">Title: </span></b>Affective Misdirection and the Stability of Unfreedom<span style="mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">Abstract: </span></b>Systems of unfreedom like the global system of racial capitalism are self-stabilising. They maintain themselves in the face of concerted action to transform them. How might we understand
their capacity to do so? In this paper I examine one mechanism by which such systems stabilise themselves: what I call “affective misdirection”. Affects are powerful agential forces that potentially serve as a means of social transformation. They are both
epistemically powerful (they help us understand our situation and what is going wrong) and practically powerful (they motivate action). Systems of unfreedom
<i>misdirect</i> these potentially transformative energies in ways that maintain those systems. For example, anger that should be directed against capitalist institutions for economic ills is redirected, through racism and xenophobia, toward other groups within
the system. And hope that might help us imagine freer and more just social forms is redirected under capitalism towards individual success. These misdirected affects both engender support for systems of unfreedom and disrupt potential sources of collective
action. The larger methodological claim this paper advances is that systemic and structural forms of understanding should be combined with individual-level moral psychological analysis.<span style="mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">Speaker Bio: </span></b>Yarran Hominh is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Bard College. His research sits at the intersection of social and political philosophy with moral psychology. He draws liberally
from a variety of traditions of thought and practice, including the pragmatist tradition, the Black radical tradition, Buddhist modernism, and anti-racist, anti-colonial, and anti-imperial praxis from around the globe. He is working on a book entitled
<i>The Problem of Unfreedom</i> and has papers recently published or forthcoming in
<i>Philosophers’ Imprint</i>, <i>The Pluralist</i>, the <i>Journal of Legal Philosophy</i>,
<i>Comparative Philosophy</i> and the <i>Journal of Confucian Philosophy and Culture</i>. He is also the Associate Editor of the
<i>APA Studies on Asian and Asian American Philosophers and Philosophies</i> and is on the editorial board of
<i>The Philosopher</i>.<span style="mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
