In a forthcoming paper I critique Holly Lawford-Smith’s recent book Gender Critical Feminism for both the incoherence of its underlying metaphysics of sex and gender, and the problematic political effects of that metaphysics. In this talk I will first rehearse the crux of that argument, and then use it to motivate a further question: if bad metaphysics leads to bad politics, what kind of metaphysics might help bring about a liberatory politics?
