Analytic philosophers have some unique skills to contribute to current debates about sex and gender, including argument analysis, conceptual analysis, clear definitions of key terms, sympathetic understanding of theoretical opponents, and comparing the epistemic status of various claims.
This blog highlights the work of gender-critical and gender-skeptical philosophers, highlighting peer-reviewed publications and presenting original snippets of thought. In other posts we recommend other helpful gender-critical sources, as it is important to look at all of the relevant human experiences and evidence, and not only approach these topics from political and culture-war perspectives.
Genderthink is for anyone trying to find their way through these difficult and confusing topics, by separating the true from the false, and the reasonable from the unreasonable.
Why are we anonymous? No one is more vicious online than various sorts of gender fanatics. They aggressively persecute those whom they consider to be gender heretics, doxing, harassing, slandering, blackballing, deplatforming, and trying to get their perceived enemies fired. Some of these fanatics, sadly, are our fellow professional philosophers. The founder of this blog has no fear for his or her job. But some of the bloggers may, particularly early-career professors, and so this blog will always hide the identities of its bloggers.
