Transgender and adoption: An analogy

Think 20 (59):25-30 (2021)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Maybe we should think of it like this: trans women/men are to women/men as adoptive parents are to parents. There are disanalogies of course, and the morality of adoption is a large issue in itself which I can't do full justice to here. Still, the analogies are, I think, important and instructive.
