Title I am What I Identify as: An Analysis of Gender Identity in Analytical Philosophy
Summary My thesis focuses on definitions of gender identity that have been held in analytic philosophy. I argue, using mainly testimonies and ideas that can be found in popular liberal discourse sources, that the positive definitions that have been put forward cannot include some relevant experiences or are not enough for advancing genderqueer and trans rights. Nevertheless, I hold that gender identity is a concept we need. Because of this, I conclude by putting forward a different kind of definition of gender identity that I consider more promising, one that views it as a cluster concept.
