Antinaturalism (politics)
Antinaturalism, or anti-naturalism, is a movement arguing against naturalist and essentialist ideology;
Philosophy
Antinaturalists defend the inherent and absolute moral permissibility of
sex reassignment surgery, and other means by which they believe human beings can assume control of their own bodies and their own environments.[3]
Antinaturalism stands in contrast to some
sentient beings, not because of some inherently sacred attribute of nature as a whole.[6] Yves Bonnardel argues that naturalist ideology "goes hand in hand with and legitimises speciesist oppression of non-human sentient beings",[1] and that using natural law to justify the reintroduction of predatory animals to control populations of other animals is a form of speciesism.[7]
