跨性别者对自己的性别拥有第一人称的权威:“身体错位”的说法无法概括跨性别者的经验,而对跨性别者的恐惧和敌意往往通过把他们塑造成骗子或假装者而起作用。

帮助将跨性别哲学确立为一个领域的哲学家,现任教于滑铁卢大学:跨性别恐惧把跨性别者描绘成“欺骗者”或“假扮者”;无论是“错误的身体”模型,还是“超越二元”都不适合跨性别者的生活——在跨性别社群中,“女人”理所当然地包括跨性别女性,而她主张应当以这种含义,而不是以占主导地位的含义,来引导我们。

立场
Bettcher’s early work was on George Berkeley’s theory of the self, but she is best known for helping to establish trans philosophy: philosophy done from trans perspectives and in the service of trans lives. “Evil Deceivers and Make-Believers” analyses transphobic violence. Dominant culture treats gender presentation as a communication of genital status, so trans people are cast either as “deceivers”, if their trans status is unknown, or as “make-believers”, if it is known – a double bind that is used to excuse violence against them. “Trapped in the Wrong Theory” criticises both the medical “wrong body” model, on which a trans person has an inner gender identity at odds with their body, and the “beyond the binary” model, which treats trans people as transcending gender; neither, she argues, does justice to the many trans people – especially trans women – who understand themselves as women or as men. Drawing on María Lugones’s idea of multiple worlds, she argues that “woman” has more than one meaning: in trans communities it is used in a way on which trans women are women without qualification, and trans people have first-person authority over their gender. “Beyond Personhood” develops a theory of “interpersonal spatiality” – of intimacy and distance between people – which, she argues, explains trans oppression and gender dysphoria better than the concepts of person, self and subject.
