Judicial Difficulty with Gender
A day late (not my fault! really!), here is my column over at 365gay.com. Toggle on over and give it a look. The post examines a few cases in which courts were called upon to decide whether to give legal recognition to someone’s sexual reassignment surgery. In service of a larger point about the difficulties that the law has with gender non-conformists, I also discuss the recent goings-on in Malawi, where a gay couple is in a maximum security prison for conducing a formal engagement ceremony.
Most of the results show that courts need a great deal of education on these issues.
