I am a philosophy professor that thinks deeply about the distinction between appearance and reality — in other words, a metaphysician.
My latest research is in social metaphysics. The social appearances tell us that gender and sexual orientation categories are categorical. In a series of papers and a forthcoming book (The End of Binaries: How Gender and Sexuality Come in Degrees, Oxford University Press), I argue that social categories come in degrees.
