Book excerpt: The European legal gender recognition landscape has changed dramatically since the first edition of this toolkit. Since 2013, eight more states now have procedures in place enabling a person to adapt their official records and documents, with four out of the 41 states which have such provisions basing their procedures on self-determination. In 2015, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe welcomed the emergence of a right to gender identity, which gives every individual the right to recognition of their gender identity. We have witnessed a paradigm shift from medicalised procedures to a generation of laws with human rights as major yardstick. Gender recognition procedures are important non-discrimination measures, giving legal and social recognition to a trans person?s gender identity. Europe now has a first generation of laws ? informed by trans community organisations ? that are build on individual self-determination and are thus breaking with a tradition of gatekeeping and patronising. Malta, Ireland, Denmark and Norway set the path when they listened to trans people and established quick, transparent and accessible procedures based on self-determination. The first part of this toolit discusses the basic aspects of gender recognition legislation as flowing from international and European human rights obligations, including updates from recent developments in legislation and jurisprudence. The new section on implementation discusses further aspects flowing out of accessible legal gender recognition. The completely reworked and updated section on jurisprudence presents European and a selection of national level case law. In addition to the Argentinian framework, the Maltese gender recognition legislation is discussed in detail as good practice. The refined Checklist on Legal Gender Recognition continues to be a hands-on tool assisting in assessing any legislation or draft legislation with basic human rights requirements. The section on myth busters has been extended and reworked. Finally, the full texts of the Maltese and Norwegian Gender Recognition laws are available in English in the Annex.

This book was released on 2024-07-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book considers the genealogy of the term gender identity and its entrance and development in international human rights law. Going against the prevailing narrative, the book explores the possibility of refashioning gender identity as a belief; this reframing allows the conflicting rights of women, children and LGB people to be protected and as well as the right of people to express their belief in having a gender identity incongruent with their sex.

Download or read book Gender Sexuality and Constitutionalism in Asia written by Wen-Chen Chang and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the equal citizenship claims of women and sexual and gender diverse people across several Asian jurisdictions. The volume examines the rich diversity of constitutional responses to sex, gender and sexuality in the region from a comparative perspective. Leading comparative constitutional law scholars identify 'opportunity structures' to explain the uneven advancement of gender equality through constitutional litigation and consider a combination of variables which shape the diverging trajectories of the jurisdictions in this study. The authors also embed the relevant constitutional and legal developments in their historical, political and social contexts. This deep contextual understanding of the relationship between sex, gender, sexuality and constitutionalism greatly enriches the analysis. The case studies reflect a variety of constitutional structures, institutional designs and contextual dynamics which may advance or impede developments with respect to sex, gender and sexuality. As a whole, the chapters further an understanding of the constitutional domain as a fruitful site for advancing gender equality and the rights of sexual and gender diverse people. The jurisdictions covered represent all Asian sub-regions including: East Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea), South East Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia), and South Asia (India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka). The introductory framework chapter situates these insights from the region within the broader global context of the evolution of gender constitutionalism.

Download or read book Self Declaration in the Legal Recognition of Gender written by Chris Dietz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-21 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-Declaration in the Legal Recognition of Gender examines the impact of legislation premised upon the principle of ‘self-declaration’ of legal gender status. Existing doctrinal and comparative analyses have tended to come out strongly in favour of, or against, self-declaration. This book offers a socio-legal alternative which focuses on how self-declaration is experienced, on an embodied level, by trans and gender diverse people. It presents research conducted in Denmark, which became the first European state to adopt self-declaration in June 2014. By analysing Danish law through a Foucauldian framework which brings together socio-, feminist, and trans legal scholarship on embodiment and jurisdiction, the book offers the first empirically based and theoretically informed analysis of self-declaration. It draws upon legal consciousness, affect theory, vulnerability, and governmentality literatures to argue that the jurisdictional boundaries which existed between law and medicine were maintained throughout the reform process. This limited the impact of the legislation, enabling access to health care to be restricted in the same year in which amending legal gender status was liberalised. As the list of states that have adopted self-declaration increases, this intervention offers activists and policymakers insights which might shape how they respond to similar reform proposals in the future. A timely and important assessment, this book will appeal to researchers and practitioners working in trans, gender, feminist legal, and socio-legal studies.
