[AGTRT-BF50] Not everyone will be keen on the ICE methodology in discussions about gender
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Using incremental concept engineering (ICE), we broadly mapped how the concept gender changed over time (see AGTRT-BF38). ICE forces participants to relate to the arguments given in history in discussions about gender. It is a structured way to monitor the consistency of the totality of arguments…

[AGTRT-BF49] Cameron Domenico Kirk-Giannini: another step in the concept engineering of gender
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Structure of this blog 1. Introduction: Kirk-Giannini in the light of FGT In March 2023, we published our first report (AGTRT-1) on formal gender theory (FGT), outlining how FGT can contribute to gender theory, and specifically the “gender inclusion problem.” This is the question of whether…

[AGTRT-BF48] Primary gender identity is about whether we feel male, female or neutral
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Our research team (AGTRT) is developing two new gender theories side by side: Androgyny Based Gender Theory (ABGT) and Formal Gender Theory (FGT). FGT focuses on the concept of gender and exactly how it has evolved over time in science and beyond. FGT aims to clarify…

[AGTRT-BF47] The distinction between primary and secondary gender identity makes room for androgyny
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team In gender theory, the notion ofgender identity plays a leading role. A person’s gender identity is the gender that a person ascribes to himself, where, according to our formal gender theory (FGT), one can choose from male, female and neutral. In addition to gender identity, there…

[AGTRT-BF46] That gender is no longer solely defined physically is progress, but should not be allowed to spill over
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team In blogs AGTRT-BF41 and AGTRT-BF42, we introduced the notion of bodily gender. This is a notion that can take into account the various definitions of a male or female (or neutral) body in circulation, from morphological to biological. Physical gender, moreover, can change across place and…

[AGTRT-BF45] Battle exchange between Sunak and Starmer over “what is a woman?”
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Last week, gender theory hit the news in the United Kingdom once again, with the remarkable accusation by PM Rishi Sunak that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer would not even be able to define what a woman is. Starmer would now believe that in some cases…
