You can support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chenphilosophy Kevin Richardson is a professor of philosophy at Duke University. Website: https://kevinrichardson.org/ Book: https://academic.oup.com/book/61709 Summary:There is an emerging shift away from identifying with the standard binary gender (male/female) and sexual orientation (gay/straight) categories. This shift has frightened some and been a source of confusion for others. This book presents a new way to understand gender and sexuality beyond the binary categories: the spatial theory. According to the spatial theory, a person’s gender or sexuality should be understood as a location within a multidimensional space. Just as the boundaries of countries divide up geographical territories, social boundaries divide up regions of gender and sexuality space.
