How human rights principles, like the right to gender identity,
freedom, integrity and equality, respond to the concerns of
different groups of adults and children who experience gender harm
due to the binary conception of sexuality and gender identity is
the overall theme of this book. The Yogyakarta Principles on the
Application of International Human Rights Law in Relation to Sexual
Orientation and Gender Identity are analysed in the light of the
dynamic jurisprudence of different human rights treaty bodies.
Whether and how the status quo of gender duality is reproduced, in
spite of international law's growing recognition of the
multiplicity of sexualities and gender identities, is discussed.
How transgender men, in countries that permit legal gender change,
have been successfully prosecuted for gender fraud by female
partners claiming to be unaware of their gender history is given
attention. While human rights discourse related to LGBTI persons so
far has been moulded on the experiences of adults this book gives
voice to the concerns of gender-non confirming children. The
jurisprudence of the Child Rights Committee, with focus on the
complex social and legal issues faced by gender non-confirming
children, is addressed. Through narratives, that give voice to
these children's experiences, the book demonstrates how the legal
gender assigned at birth impacts on their feeling of recognition,
self-confidence and self-respect in the private, social, and legal
spheres. This book was previously published as a special issue of
the Nordic Journal of Human Rights.
