Résumé : 

Is gender a system of inequality that should be abolished? Alternatively, is it a social identity that should be celebrated? Should gender identity—one’s internal sense of being a man, woman, or neither/both—replace birth sex in the law and in society? Or are there situations in which birth sex remains relevant? Can we acknowledge the importance of birth sex in certain situations without causing harm to transgender people? Gender Collision, her forthcoming book, addresses these questions and implications for contemporary debates about sex discrimination, public restrooms, parenting, pronoun practices, sex/gender markers on identity documents, medical science, and women’s sports. It does not dictate how readers should think or talk about these issues. Rather, it offers analytical tools that will help readers better understand, navigate, and discuss some of the most crucial and fraught topics of our time.
