Focusing on the global social and political dynamics of trans antagonisms, the book critically analyzes "gender-critical" interpretations of Simone de Beauvoir's work, particularly her concept of becoming a woman. It argues that Beauvoir's philosophy can affirm trans identities and presents an ethical framework advocating for gender affirmation. By challenging trans exclusionary positions, it offers a compelling response to anti-trans movements, emphasizing the importance of supporting trans possibilities through a Beauvoirian lens.
