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 identities, they also stand at perpetual risk of those same identities exposing them to significant harm. What, if anything, can members of oppressed groups do to counter that oppression? 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.

“我是一个男人”：通过呼吁善良的会员来对抗压迫

社会类型常常成为压迫的场所。作为女性、黑人、跨性别者——每一个都以自己的方式将某人置于社会等​​级的低端。因此，这些群体的成员身份构成了一种责任：尽管人们从分享这些身份中获得了好处，但他们也永远面临着这些相同身份使他们遭受重大伤害的风险。如果有的话，被压迫群体的成员可以采取什么措施来对抗这种压迫？在这篇文章中，我探讨了一种可能的策略：人们可以——而且确实——战略性地援引他们在我所说的“反压迫类型”中的成员身份，以对抗他们作为被压迫群体成员所面临的压迫。着眼于一种特别突出的反压迫类型，即人类，我首先解释其调用如何以及为何在政治上有效，然后再考虑其使用的一些危险。
