GUERRERO MC MANUS, Siobhan. Towards a New Gender Metaphysics. Debate fem. [online]. 2020, vol.60, pp.48-74. Epub 27-Nov-2020. ISSN 2594-066X. https://doi.org/10.22201/cieg.2594066xe.2020.60.03.
This text posits a novel proposal about what gender is. To this end, it criticizes various metaphysical models on the issue that have been gaining influence within Anglo-Saxon feminist philosophy. In short, these models are evaluated in light of two controversies feminisms are undergoing today: a) should feminism be gender abolitionist? and b) does gender identity reify gender roles? The hypothesis of this text is to point out that the functionalist biases of the models being criticized lead them to prejudge these issues, ignoring other aspects associated with gender in the process. To prevent this unfortunate consequence, this text concludes by taking up elements of various feminist philosophies that permit a more complex conception of gender.
