This paper is concerned with when, if ever, deceptive sex should be criminalised. It defends the idea that it is necessary to distinguish between deceptions that will generally be punishable from those that will not and puts forward a novel framework for carrying out this task. Based on the concept of identity nonrecognition, this framework also offers a new way of understanding what makes certain kinds of deceptive sex wrongful. After setting out this framework, I analyse each of the deceptions that is most often carried out within ‘ordinary’ contexts, explaining why only some of these should generally be punished. The paper concludes by suggesting that identity nonrecognition has the potential to inform criminalisation debates more generally, and that its relevance extends beyond discussions about deceptive sex.

将欺骗性性行为定为犯罪：性别、身份和认可

本文关注的是何时（如果有的话）应将欺骗性性行为定为犯罪。它捍卫了这样一种观点，即有必要区分通常会受到惩罚的欺骗行为和不会受到惩罚的欺骗行为，并提出了一个新的框架来执行这项任务。基于身份不承认的概念，该框架还提供了一种新的方式来理解是什么导致某些类型的欺骗性行为是错误的。在建立了这个框架之后，我分析了在“普通”环境中最常进行的每一种欺骗行为，解释了为什么通常只应该惩罚其中的一些。该论文最后提出，身份不承认有可能为更广泛的刑事定罪辩论提供信息，并且其相关性超出了关于欺骗性性的讨论。
