Sexual Deceit is an extended ethical analysis of the phenomenon of
sexual identity passing - i.e. socially presenting as X, when one
understands oneself as Y, where the variables represent any
contemporary sexual identity - alongside identity passing in the
contexts of race, gender, and briefly, religion and class. The
analysis of passing utilizes and challenges traditional moral
understandings of identity falsification, complicating our
understandings of moral obligations under systemic oppression.
Tracing the intervention of social construction theory on
contemporary political understandings of LGBT communities and
activism, Sexual Deceit argues against social construction models
of identity - notably performativity, promulgated by the work of
Judith Butler and consumed and repeated by many scholars and theory
educated queer people. A new model of identity is constructed,
based on a phenomenological concept of style that provides for a
socially adjustable yet rooted notion of sexual identity. The
ethical implications of sexual identity passing are considered in
the context of eschatological images of social justice and within
practical matters such as military service, leadership, and sexual
harassment law.
