Aizura New York: Routledge, 2013. 694 pp. For the past decade or so, ‘‘emergent’’ has often appeared alongside ‘‘transgender studies’’ to describe a growing scholarly field. As of 2014, transgender studies can boast several conferences, a number of edited collections and thematic journal issues, courses in some college curricula, and—with this inaugural issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly—an academic journal with a premier university press. But while the scholarly trope of emergence conjures the cutting edge, it can also be an infantilizing temporality that communicates (and con- tributes to) perpetual marginalization. An emergent field is always on the verge of becoming, but it may never arrive. The recent publication of several new edited collections and special issues of journals dedicated to transgender studies makes manifest the arrival of a vibrant, TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly * Volume 1, Numbers 1–2 * May 2014 285 DOI 10.1215/23289252-2399461 ª 2014 Duke University Press Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/tsq/article-pdf/1/1-2/285/485795/285.pdf by guest on 02 October 2021 286 TSQ * Transgender Studies Quarterly diverse, and flourishing interdisciplinary field.

  • Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and International Human Rights Law: Contextualising Theyogyakarta Principles
    Human Rights Law Review 8:2 ß The Author [2008]. Published by Oxford University Press.

For Permissions, please email: [email protected] doi:10.1093/hrlr/ngn009 ....................................................................... Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and International Human Rights Law: Contextualising theYogyakarta Principles Michael O’Flaherty* and John Fisher** Abstract On 26 March 2007, a group of human rights experts launched the Yogyakarta Principles on the Application of Human Rights Law in Relation to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (the Yogyakarta Principles). The Principles are intended as a coherent and comprehen- sive identification of the obligation of States to respect, protect and fulfil the human rights of all persons regardless of their sexual orienta- tion or gender identity. Since their launch the Principles have attracted considerable attention on the part of States, United Nations actors and civil society. It is likely that they will play a significant role within advocacy efforts and, whether directly or otherwise, in normative and jurisprudential development. The present article constitutes the first published critical commentary on the Principles. It seeks to situate them within the contexts of (a) the actual situation of people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, and (b) the applicable international human rights law as it stands today. Thus situated, the Yogyakarta drafting process and the outcome text are examined. The final section of the article comprises a preliminary review of the impact and dissemination of the Principles.

  • Trans*Formations Lives and Politics Beyond the Gender Binary
    TRANS*FORMATIONS LIVES AND POLITICS BEYOND THE GENDER BINARY 14-15 JUNE 2016 – CALL FOR PAPERS Lisbon, 2015 TRANS*FORMATIONS: Lives and Politics beyond the Gender Binary is an international conference organized in the framework of the ERC funded project TRANSRights, Gender citizenship and sexual rights in Europe: Transgender lives from a transnational perspective (http://transrightseurope.com). The conference will be held in Lisbon at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon on June 14-15. TRANSRights is a project that aims to rethink and reflect upon gender and citizenship. It focuses on trans-people (namely, transsexuals, transgenders, crossdressers, genderqueers and other representatives of non-conforming gender identifications, expressions and lives) as subjects whose voices and diversity must be understood as one of the most challenging boundaries for framing contemporary debates on rights vis-à-vis an institutional apparatus that still reproduces a dualist gender order, polarising male and female, men and women, as discrete beings. This year, the TRANS*FORMATIONS Conference intends to create an opportunity and a forum for debate that allows to discuss the possibilities of living lives and engaging in politics beyond the constraints set out by gender binaries. In the face of contemporary challenges and the strong resistance(s) to gender dualisms that activists, academics, trans-people and allies are increasingly voicing, the furthering of our critical reflection on the diversity of trans lives and politics is both

Biographies: Professor Stephen Whittle OBE Founder and Vice-President of Press for Change People ask whether I wish I hadn’t been trans. My answer is ’No’ - I have been able to be at the forefront of a new political movement that is really challenging the issues of body fascism. If we can win the one about trans bodies, then we can win in all the other battle grounds surrounding the body whether to do with people being fat or thin, abled or disabled, black or brown, male or female. Mostly though, being trans has been a privilege because I have met wonderful people, done wonderful things, been to wonderful places - all in all had a wonderful life! In the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list of December 2005 Dr Stephen Whittle was awarded an OBE to recognised his outstanding and long term contribution to the development of social and legal recognition for transsexual people over the course of more than 30 years.
