'Transgender Jurisprudence: Dysphoric Bodies of Law is an important
book. Sharpe's discussion of trangender jurisprudence] is
convincing and thought-provoking, his observations incisive and
legally persuasive and] his examination of the fundamental
heterosexism and phallocentricity of reform jurisprudence is
brilliant.' -Queen's Law Journal (Vol 28(1) 2002 pp 363-369 at pp
365, 366, 368 and 369), Professor Bruce MacDougall of the Faculty
of Law, University of British Columbia, Vancouver 'Transgender
Jurisprudence is a work of the most careful and comprehensive
scholarship and] will, I have no doubt, be a standard resource to
all those who have reason to work in the area, both as practicing
lawyers, activists, or academics, in years to come.' -Sydney Law
Review (Vol 24 2002 pp 442-448 at p 443), Professor Desmond
Manderson, Canada Research Chair in Law & Discourse, McGill
University, Montreal 'Transgender Jurisprudence provides an
excellent, well-researched contribution to the fields of
transgender studies and jurisprudence concerning gender and
sexuality. It is also a valuable contribution to wider discussions
concerning feminism, poststructuralism and queer studies.' -Res
Publica (Vol 8(3) 2002 pp 275-283 at pp 282-283), Dr Surya Munro of
the Department of Law, Keele University ' Sharpe] expresses the
hope that the book has made an important contribution ...That it
has done so is beyond doubt. Indeed more than a contribution,
Sharpe has comprehensively reshaped and redefined the field of
transgender jurisprudence. T]he end result is a book which is not
only sustained, integrated and comparative, but which introduces a
set of original and sophisticated arguments that will provide an
indispensable grounding for subsequent work in the field for some
time to come.' -Griffith Law Review (Vol 12(2) 2003 pp 387-390 at p
390), Professor Rosemary Hunter, Dean of the Faculty of Law,
Griffith University Transgender Jurisprudence] has already become a
foundational work by which others will be measured. It] sets a high
bar As one who litigates cases on behalf of transgender people as
well as those involving same-sex couples seeking marriage rights, I
think Sharpe has done an incredible job identifying homophobia as]
the source of the tension in such cases.' - Adelaide Law Review Vol
24(2) 2003 pp 99-104 at 104.
