Title: Philosophy Seminar: Anca Gheaus (Central European University)
The next philosophy department seminar will take place on 22 September at  
3:30pm on Zoom. The speaker will be Anca Gheaus (Central European  
University). Please find more details about the talk and the Zoom link  
below.-----------What does it mean to have a gender identity?Anca  
GheausAbstract. Claims about gender identity are at the core of heated  
current philosophical and political debates. Yet, it is unclear what it  
means to have one. I examine several ways of understanding this concept, in  
light of features that trans writers and activists seem to attribute to it:  
The concept should, ideally, make good trans people’s claims concerning  
their own gender identities, the claim that people have privileged access  
to their gender identities and, possibly the claim that we all have a  
gender identity. Further, to be helpful with current debates, an account of  
gender identity should admit that misgendering is a form of serious harm,  
and that it is permissible for states, and maybe other agents, to require  
information about people’s gender identities. I conclude that, when  
speakers make statements about their, or others’, gender identities, we  
lack a plausible interpretation that satisfies the above criteria. But, I  
argue, we can, and should, pursue the feminist project without appealing to  
“gender identity”; feminism thus understood need not exclude trans people.  
I offer an account of the specific harm of misgendering which doesn’t  
assume that people have a claim to have their gender identities recognised,  
and argue that we should evaluate trans people’s claims to inclusion into  
particular spaces separately, based on their individual  
merits.-----------Michael Nielsen is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom
