Chris Dietz, "Self-Declaration in the Legal Recognition of Gender" (Routledge, 2022)
Self-Declaration in the Legal Recognition of Gender\xa0(Routledge, 2023)\xa0is a socio-legal study that offers a critique of what it means to self-declare with regard to legal gender. Based on empirical research conducted in Denmark, the book engages in some of the most controversial issues surrounding trans and gender diverse rights. The theoretical analysis draws upon legal consciousness, affect theory, vulnerability and governmentality, to cross jurisdictional boundaries between law and medicine. The book reflects on the limits of progress that\xa0legislative\xa0reform may make, and the way that increased regulation can actually limit access to rights protections. Broadly transferrable beyond its specific field, this\xa0book will be useful to socio-legal scholars, feminist scholars, trans scholars, policy makers and practitioners.\nDr Chris Dietz\xa0is a Lecturer at the Centre for Law & Social Justice at The University of Leeds.\xa0\nJane Richards\xa0is a doctoral student at the University of Hong Kong.
