Stephen Davies’s Adornment lays an admirable foundation upon which much fruitful philosophical discussion about the topic of adornment can—and likely, will—be built. And while I find its main argument to be compelling, the book’s discussions of issues on the periphery of that argument are incomplete. This is not so much a fault of the book as it is a consequence of the fact that, realistically, one can address only a finite number of topics within a finite number of words. With that in mind, I use these words to pick up one of those peripheral issues: the relation between adornment, the so-called gender “binary,” and gender expression. To begin, I will briefly recap the relevant components of Davies’s view of adornment.
