{"product_id":"9781509561988","title":"Becoming a Woman : Simone de Beauvoir and the Politics of Trans Existence by Megan Burke","description":"This highly engaging analysis of the contemporary global social and political landscape of trans antagonisms draws specific attention to gender-critical mobilizations of Simone de Beauvoir's account of becoming a woman in?The Second Sex?to advance and justify trans-exclusionary positions. Through a careful examination and?application of?Beauvoir's philosophical and political commitments,?Becoming a Woman?compellingly explores the significance of her notion of becoming not only as affirmative of trans women, but also as an ethical demand to affirm trans possibilities.    More than a reply to gender-critical readings of Beauvoir, this book develops an original, Beauvoirian ethics of gender affirmation that shows why we ought to challenge trans exclusion and anti-trans movements.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302619165045,"sku":"9781509561988","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781509561988.jpg?v=1762792956","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781509561988","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
