Jan 27, 2004Is race a discredited pseudo-scientific category? Or a real dimension of difference among humans?
In a recent article titled "In Defense of Transracialism" for the feminist philosophy journalHypatia, philosopher Rebecca Tuvel penned a defense of "transracialism" through an argument that the logic which supports transgender individuals also should lead one to support transracial individuals in their decision to "change" races.
The idea for the article came after Rachel Dolezal's controversial case, in which Tuvel "perceived a transphobic logic that lay at the heart of the constant attacks against her." Her article "is an effort to extend our thinking alongside transgender theories to other non-normaitve possibilities."
The article has nonetheless exploded in controversy after accusations of using transphobic language (e.g. in "deadnaming" Caitlyn Jenner) and of not citing any trans folk of color who have written on this issue before. Tuvel has since apologized for deadnaming Jenner, but has reasserted the value of the questions and points raised in her article.
In an open letter signed by over 400 academics,Hypatiawas called upon to rescind the article and has sinceissued an apology for publishing it. Tuvel has even received death threats for her work.

Is race a discredited pseudo-scientific category? Or a real dimension of difference among humans?
Are gender roles and differences fixed, once and for, all by biology? Or is gender socially constructed and culturally variable?
一些女权主义者认为,有一些女性特有的认知方式,而目前的科学研究没有认识到这些方式是有缺陷的。
