| Opplysninger | Acknowledgments -- Preface -- Introduction : Trans antagonisms and beauvoir -- 1. Becoming a woman -- 2. On females and women -- 3. An ethics of trans affirmation -- Conclusion : Bad faith and feminism -- Glossary -- References.. - This highly engaging analysis of the contemporary global social and political landscape of trans antagonisms draws specific attention to gender-critical mobilizations of Simone de Beauvoir's account of becoming a woman in The Second Sex to advance and justify trans-exclusionary positions. Through a careful examination and application of Beauvoir's philosophical and political commitments, Becoming a Woman compellingly explores the significance of her notion of becoming not only as affirmative of trans women, but also as an ethical demand to affirm trans possibilities. More than a reply to gender-critical readings of Beauvoir, this book develops an original, Beauvoirian ethics of gender affirmation that shows why we ought to challenge trans exclusion and anti-trans movements. -- Provided by publisher.
