This paper proposes a new account of gender identity on which for A to have gender G as part of their gender identity is for A to not take G not to fit them (or to positively take G to fit them). It argues that this subjective fit account of gender identity fits well with trans people’s testimony and both trans and cis people’s experiences of their genders. The subjective fit account also avoids the problems that existing accounts of gender identity face. Existing accounts face broadly two types of problems. First, they seem to imply that trans people have gender identities different from those that they in fact have. For instance, they seem to imply that some trans women do not have a female gender identity or have not always had that gender identity, contrary to their testimony and experiences. I argue that the subjective fit account avoids this problem. Second, many existing accounts of gender identity seem to conflict with the idea that our gender identities merit respect. I argue that the subjective fit account avoids this problem because it understands gender identities to consist in normative experiences and judgments and normative experiences and judgments merit respect.

本文提出了一种新的性别认同解释，其中 A 将性别 G 作为其性别认同的一部分意味着 A 不采取 G 来适应他们（或者积极地采取 G 来适应他们）。它认为，这种对性别认同的主观拟合解释与跨性别者的证词以及跨性别者和顺性别者对其性别的经历非常吻合。主观契合的解释也避免了现有性别认同解释所面临的问题。现有账户大致面临两类问题。首先，他们似乎暗示跨性别者的性别认同与他们实际的性别认同不同。例如，他们似乎暗示一些跨性别女性没有女性性别认同，或者并不总是有这种性别认同，这与她们的证词和经历相反。我认为主观适合账户可以避免这个问题。其次，许多现有的性别认同说法似乎与我们的性别认同值得尊重的观念相冲突。我认为主观适合性解释避免了这个问题，因为它理解性别认同包含在规范经验和判断中，而规范经验和判断值得尊重。
