Abstract

Is sex identity a feature of one's mind or body, and is it a relational or intrinsic property? Who is in the best position to know a person's sex, do we each have a true sex, and is a person's sex an alterable characteristic? When a person's sex assignment changes, has the old self disappeared and a new one emerged; or, has only the public presentation of one's self changed? "You've Changed" examines the philosophical questions raised by the phenomenon of sex reassignment, and brings together the essays of scholars known for their work in gender, sexuality, queer, and disability studies, feminist epistemology and science studies, and philosophical accounts of personal identity. An interdisciplinary contribution to the emerging field of transgender studies, it will be of interest to students and scholars in a number of disciplines.

Queer Breasted Experience.Kim Q. Hall
Sex/Gender Transitions and Life-Changing Aspirations.Christine Overall
Taking this deft self-description as a point of departure, I reflect as a feminist philosopher on feminist artist Jenny Saville's portrait of its author, Del LaGrace Volcano, together with a Saville self-portrait as a cosmetic surgery patient. 1 In this study of Matrix (1999, oil on canvas, seven feet by ten feet) and Plan (1993, oil on canvas, nine feet by seven feet), I analyze how Saville's artistic practice conveys. [REVIEW]Jenny Saville Portraits
Trans Identities and First-Person Authority.Talia Mae Bettcher
Trans studies constitute part of the coming-to-voice of transpeople, long the the-orized and researched objects of sexology, psychiatry, and feminist theory. Sandy Stone's pioneering “The Empire Strikes Back: A Posttranssexual Manifesto” sought the end of monolithic medical and feminist accounts of transsexuality to reveal a multiplicity of trans-authored narratives. 1 My goal is a better understanding of what.Talia Mae Bettcher
The issue in which I am interested is a broad metaphysical one: how to understand the metaphysics of changing from woman to man or man to woman. Who or what is changed, and who or what remains the same? How, if at all, do these changes affect personal identity?  (pages 11)Life-Changing Aspirations
