Being a woman and wanting to be a woman
In this paper I provide a new way of thinking of questions using an expanded space of FDE-worlds/state space. This allows both for non-exclusive and non-exhaustive answers to questions concerning one's gender identity. Further, and most crucially for the purposes of this paper, it allows for a new, more general definition of question inclusion that allows for the identification of a new form of hermeneutical injustice. This form of injustice, I argue, affects trans people by keeping them in a prolonged state of gender questioning and confusion in which they only grasp the part of the question Am I X gender identity? that corresponds to the question Do I want to be X gender identity?.
