Transgender Trouble: Legislation Beyond Binaries? (original) (raw)

Transgender Trouble: Legislation Beyond Binaries? examines the evolution of transgender studies and its implications within the legal framework, focusing primarily on Western jurisprudence. Sharpe provides a critical analysis of how laws reflect and reinforce gender binaries while highlighting the complexities of transgender identities and experiences. The work critiques both biologically determinist and reformist approaches to legal discourse, proposing that the contradictions within transgender jurisprudence create opportunities for resistance against normative gender classifications.
