Trouble with Gender: Sex Facts, Gender Fictions
By Alex Byrne, professor of philosophy
Polity · 2024
MIT philosopher Alex Byrne knows that within his field, he's very much in the minority when it comes to his views on sex and gender. In "Trouble with Gender," Byrne suggests that some ideas regarding sex and gender have not been properly examined by philosophers, and he argues for a reasoned and civil conversation on the topic.
From Summer 2024 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
