  • Exploring Non-Binary Genders
    Exploring Non-binary Genders: Language and Identity Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the award of Doctor in Philosophy Sebastian Cordoba De Montfort University January 2020 2 Acknowledgments Writing this thesis has been one of the most difficult tasks I have ever undertaken. It has been, in many ways, both a painful and exhilarating experience that can only be described as an emotional rollercoaster. I would have never been able to complete this thesis without the help of some wonderful people, all of whom I would like to thank here: First of all, I would like to thank my partner – and soon-to-be-husband – Cooper Gatewood. Throughout this process, he has seen me experience every emotion, every feeling, and every possible mood. He has not only supported me emotionally, but also intellectually – through his amazing proofreading skills and willingness to listen to my random (insightful?) midnight thoughts. I could not have finished this thesis without you. I love you. I am eternally grateful to my first supervisor, Dr Zowie Davy, who has not only expanded my knowledge in the subject area of trans studies, but has also mentored me in publishing, public speaking, and writing. I am also thankful for her honest, vibrant, and rich feedback throughout the duration of this project. I have enjoyed working together, and I am proud to have had Dr Zowie Davy as my supervisor. I would also like to thank my second supervisor, Prof Brian Brown, whose insight and stimulating comments enriched my thesis and brought the analysis to a higher level. I would also like to thank my examiners, Dr Meg-John Barker and Dr Iain Williamson, as well as Professor Julie Fish (who chaired the session), for their commitment to ensuring my viva experience was not only intellectually stimulating and lively, but also fair, ethical, consensual, and compassionate, particularly amid the covid- 19 epidemic.

  • Beyond Binary: Genderqueer As Critical Gender Kind
    Beyond Binary: Genderqueer as Critical Gender Kind Robin Dembroff (Yale University) \When gender is a binary, it's a battlefield. When you get rid of the binary, gender becomes a playground." | Kate Bornstein We want to know what gender is. But metaphysical approaches to this question solely have focused on the binary gender kinds men and women. By overlooking those who identify outside of the binary{the group I call `genderqueer'{we are left without tools for understand- ing these new and quickly growing gender identifications. This meta- physical gap in turn creates a conceptual lacuna that contributes to systematic misunderstanding of genderqueer persons. In this paper, I argue that to better understand genderqueer identities, we must recognize a new type of gender kind: critical gender kinds, or kinds whose members resist dominant gender ideology. After developing a model of critical gender kinds, I suggest that genderqueer is best modeled as one such kind. In particular, I propose that its mem- bers are united by resisting `the binary assumption', or the prevalent assumption that they must comply with binary gender classification. 1 Introduction Dissatisfaction with strict binary gender systems is nothing new.Nor is the cre- ation of language, modes of expression, and body modifications aimed at trans- gressing this binary. What is new, however, are widespread and legitimized conversations surrounding this dissatisfaction.1 Just in the last ten years, web searches for `genderqueer' and `nonbinary' have grown by a magnitude of at least ten times.2 Merriam-Webster's dictionary added both terms, the Asso- ciated Press Stylebook embraces `they' as a singular gender-neutral pronoun, and highly visible popular publications such as Teen Vogue and The New York Times have run articles exploring the concept of identifying outside the gender 1See, e.g., White et al (2018, 244) for empirical evidence supporting this claim.

Erdogan and Sheikh Sabah discussed “regional and international developments” the KUNA news agency said. A group of nations led by Saudi Arabia and including Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates cut ties with Qatar in June, accusing it of supporting extremists and foster- ing ties with Riyadh’s archrival Iran. Qatar, the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, denies the accusations. Kuwait has led mediation efforts in the dispute, while Turkey has stepped in to support Qatar with food imports in the face of a block- ade by the Arab states. Deputy Minister of Amiri Diwan Affairs Sheikh Ali Jarrah Al-Sabah said the talks high- lighted deep-rooted bilateral relations, ways to bolster them and means to improve cooperation on all fronts. Kuwait and Turkey also signed a number of agree- ments in a ceremony held at Bayan Palace with both nations’ leaders in attendance.
