Trouble with gender : sex facts, gender fictions

Trouble with gender Sex facts, gender fictions

Alex Byrne, 1960-

Book - 2024

"In this provocative, bold, and humane book, the philosopher Alex Byrne pushes back against the new gender revolution. Drawing on evidence from biology, psychology, anthropology and sexology, Byrne exposes the flaws in the revolutionary manifesto. The book applies the tools of philosophy, accessibly and with flair, to gender, sex, transsexuality, patriarchy, our many identities, and our true or authentic selves...Revolutions devour their own children, and the gender revolution is no exception. 'Trouble with Gender' joins the forefront of the counter-revolution, restoring sex to its rightful place, at the centre of what it means to be human." --
