Gender Malaise: Identity and Democratic Inclusion
Keywords:
Gender, identity, democracy, political theory, feminism.
Abstract
The objective of this article is to offer a critical examination of the concept of gender and sexual identity from the perspective of democratic political theory. After a critique of culturalist identity politics, this article makes a defense of the political, fluid and dynamic dimensions of identities. For this purpose we examine the various approaches to gender and sexual identity, particularly the transgender perspective. In conclusion, a vision of gender and sexual identities as a continuum is most in accord with the possibility of providing democratic inclusion, equality and liberty in our societies.Downloads
