From a Kantian perspective of synthetic a priori judgments, I argue that a biological male cannot rationally claim to “feel like a woman inside.” As a male, any female is part of the noumenal world and cannot be known

Philosophical Puzzles about Transgenderism

The current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has created a paradox in the treatment of gender dysphoria, in part by redefining the disorder.

The Linacre Quarterly
We set out brief answers to the key questions raised by transgender ideology. We defend the position that sex is objective, biologically grounded, and binary.

Brief Statement on Transgenderism

The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly, 2016
The claim that it is possible to change one’s sex, or that sexual identity is fluid, contradicts scientific evidence, reason, the nature of the human person, and key tenets of the Catholic faith.

Non-Embodied Embodiment: Transgenderism, Identity and the Internet

Media Watch, 2015
Online, no one can tell that you're a dog. When in the third space of the internet, the body is left behind, allowing people to explore their own identities and to engage in identity tourism with different possible bodies. It is the representations we choose for ourselves online that allow this exploration, the icons and avatars we create that produce ...
