'I Am a Man': Countering Oppression through Appeal to Kind Membership.
All too often, social kinds function as sites of oppression. To be a woman, to be Black, to be trans – each, in its own way, situates someone at the lower end of a social hierarchy. Membership in such groups thus constitutes a liability: notwithstanding the goods people draw from sharing in these id...

In this article I explore one possible strategy: people can – and do – strategically invoke their membership in what I call 'anti‐oppressive kinds', in order to contest the oppression they face qua members of oppressed groups. Focusing on one particularly salient anti‐oppressive kind, the human, I first offer an explanation as to how and why its invocation might be politically effective, before considering some hazards with its use. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Applied Philosophy is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
