Real Gender : A Cis Defence of Trans Realities
Societies around the world are struggling to think clearly about trans realities and understand trans identities.Real Gender is the first book to present a cis defence of what it means to be transgender. Moyal-Sharrock and Sandis delve into the various factors which make many trans people’s experience of their gender (or lack thereof) as natural and unquestionable as that of cis people.While recognising the undeniably social aspects of gender, they find that gender cannot be completely divorced from our biological underpinnings.Contrary to popular opinion, gender self-identification does not require the denial of either biology or sex.What is needed is a more liberal understanding of our gender concepts, which would prevent us from confusing diversity with pathology. Steeped in published and personal trans testimonials, Real Gender does not seek to provoke or attack, but to unequivocally defend trans realities.A powerful exploration of a divisive topic, this book will be of interest to a wide audience of readers.

Trouble With Gender : Sex Facts, Gender Fictions
Sex used to rule. Now gender identity is on the throne. Sex survives as a cheap imitation of its former self: assigned at birth, on a spectrum, socially constructed, and definitely not binary.Apparently quite a few of us fall outside the categories ‘male’ and ‘female’.But gender identity is said to be universal – we all have one.Humanity used to be cleaved into two sexes, whereas now the crucial division depends on whether our gender identity aligns with our body.If it does, we are cisgender; if it does not, we are transgender.The dethroning of sex has meant the threat of execution for formerly noble words such as ‘woman’ and ‘man’. 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. The topics of Trouble with Gender are relevant to us all.This is a book for anyone who has wondered ‘Is sex binary?’, ‘Why are men and women different?’, ‘What is a woman?’ or, simply, ‘Where can I go to know more about these controversies?’ 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.

Which gender believes that compliments are more sincere?
There is no definitive answer to which gender believes that compliments are more sincere, as beliefs and perceptions can vary greatly among individuals regardless of gender. However, some studies suggest that women may be more likely to value and appreciate compliments, as they tend to place a higher emphasis on emotional connections and communication. Ultimately, the sincerity of a compliment is subjective and can be influenced by various factors such as the relationship between the individuals involved and the context in which the compliment is given.

Undoing Gender
Undoing Gender constitutes Judith Butler's recent reflections on gender and sexuality, focusing on new kinship, psychoanalysis and the incest taboo, transgender, intersex, diagnostic categories, social violence, and the tasks of social transformation.In terms that draw from feminist and queer theory, Butler considers the norms that govern--and fail to govern--gender and sexuality as they relate to the constraints on recognizable personhood.The book constitutes a reconsideration of her earlier view on gender performativity from Gender Trouble.In this work, the critique of gender norms is clearly situated within the framework of human persistence and survival. And to "do" one's gender in certain ways sometimes implies "undoing" dominant notions of personhood.She writes about the "New Gender Politics" that has emerged in recent years, a combination of movements concerned with transgender, transsexuality, intersex, and their complex relations to feminist and queer theory.

What is the difference between honest and sincere?
Honesty refers to telling the truth and being straightforward in one's communication, while sincerity refers to being genuine and heartfelt in one's actions and expressions. In other words, honesty is about being truthful and transparent, while sincerity is about being genuine and authentic. One can be honest without being sincere, and vice versa. For example, someone can be honest about their feelings but not sincerely express them, or someone can sincerely express themselves but not be completely honest.

What gender does the ugly gender have?
The concept of an "ugly gender" does not exist. Gender is a social construct that is not inherently tied to physical appearance or attractiveness. It is important to recognize that beauty standards are subjective and should not be used to define or categorize gender.

Doesn't the gender thing support gender roles?
The concept of gender is separate from the idea of gender roles. Gender refers to the social and cultural expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary, while gender roles are the specific behaviors and activities that society expects from individuals based on their gender. While the concept of gender can influence and perpetuate gender roles, it also allows for the recognition and acceptance of diverse gender identities and expressions beyond traditional roles. By understanding and challenging the construct of gender, we can work towards breaking down restrictive gender roles and promoting equality and inclusivity for all individuals.
