Professor Blas Radi?s article, ?Epistemic Responsibility and Culpable Ignorance: About Editorial and Peer Review in Practical Philosophy? (2021), presents an interesting series of problems and proposals as a reaction to a particularly defective article on gender questions published by Dianoia. While I agree with Radi?s overall strategy and with his demands for a more serious approach to trans questions, I believe that the core of his disagreement with Córdoba cannot be reduced to a ?culpable ignorance? committed by the latter, but hinges, instead, on a dispute about whether or not the behavior of trans people that appeal to biomedical practices can be interpreted as ?autonomous? or ?dependent?
