Resumen del Editor

Material Girls is a timely and trenchant critique of the influential theory that we all have an inner feeling known as a gender identity, and that this feeling is more socially significant than our biological sex.

Professor Kathleen Stock surveys the philosophical ideas that led to this point, and closely interrogates each one, from De Beauvoir's statement that, 'One is not born, but rather becomes a woman' (an assertion she contends has been misinterpreted and repurposed), to Judith Butler's claim that language creates biological reality, rather than describing it. She looks at biological sex in a range of important contexts, including women-only spaces and resources, healthcare, epidemiology, political organisation and data collection.

Material Girls makes a clear, humane and feminist case for our retaining the ability to discuss reality, and concludes with a positive vision for the future, in which trans rights activists and feminists can collaborate to achieve some of their political aims.

Fantastic Book!

Very well researched and written. Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in a rational and balanced view of the current situation the women's rights movement finds itself in when being faced with male infiltration and appropriation ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lots of Food for Thought

Author gives a balanced assessment of the state of trans activism in relation to modern feminism and modern LGBTQIA÷ activism. As a radical feminist lesbian some of Stock's points made me challenge my perspective and others felt overly simplified like the notion of third spaces. I agree, wholeheartedly, that third spaces and categories for sport would benefit trans-identified people and women in terms of fairness and increased safety for both groups. However, third spaces do not validate the trans identifying person's identity and thus, trans activists do not want a middle ground but concession and validation from women through our unambiguous admittance of them in our spaces and sports. Still, a lot of extremely good points made throughout. Would recommend, especially, to "normies" who are just learning about the nuances of this debate.

Excellent and Timely

A thorough, intelligent, and compassionate examination unpacking the history and current iteration of the trans rights movement and what it means for other discriminated groups whose needs it intersects. A must read for anyone wanting to understand how this ideology has taken hold of and is affecting society at large.

What's her point?

This book is very broad with enough "statists" to seem coherent ... but much like the many interviews I have watched of the author ...what's her point" who is the audience she is trying to reach. I think there are a lot of "truths" of her ideas or concepts of "trans" people . That being said - what should be done? The sad "truth" is the veracity of the "trans" community is just as diverse ... trans women are woman... they are not, At least in some ways require different things... sadly what I don't think gets any conversation are those that just want to be... aware of medical and personal experiences but for greater point of just being... and its voices like her that makes transition even harder.. Every "trans" person is aware of their passing" ability and in social spaces... and yet the ability to live in that role has to happen before they have protections... go to restrooms - get a job - health care - body changes...

Thorough, thoughtful, kind

Kathleen Stock has produced a well researched and fair overview, with history and context. You can tell she’s an academic, but you can also feel the humanity and compassion in her words. Fantastic read- fascinating and nuanced.

Excellent

Loved it. The Auther is a philosopher, and it was interesting to hear her philosophical arguments on this subject. Thanks.

Clear and Brave Thinking on a Tough Topic

My views on sexuality and gender issues are by no means in lock step with those of author, Kathleen Stock. However, I am deeply grateful to her, both for the skill that she exhibits in writing with clarity, challenge and academic rigor on one of the great issues of our day, and also for having the courage to do so in the face of the growing power of anti-scientific group-think, not just in popular opinion but in the academic community as well.
