“…But decertification would make it harder for organisational bodies to demand that people conform to (dualist) gendered norms, including in modes of address, dress codes, and documentation. More generally, decertification symbolises the possibility of living and raising children beyond gender, while providing a practical and discursive support for those who refuse to accede to gender's terms (see also Quinan et al 2020;Venditti 2020).…”

“…Alongside medical and sexuality research, much scholarship regarding transgender issues focuses on trans human rights and legal gender recognition (for an overview, see Quinan, Molitor, van den Brink, & Zimenkova, 2020). This should not come as a surprise, because legal recognition has been a core and recurrent theme in transgender political mobilisation and individual litigation, as it makes enjoyment of other rights, such as citizenship and democratic participation, possible (Sosa, 2020).…”

This thematic issue analyses trans* politics, and the problems and policies articulated by societal, political and legal actors in national and international contexts in Europe and Latin America. Trans* issues are at the heart of politics concerning sex and gender, because the sex binary ordering is producing the categories, identities, and related social relationships around which gender inequalities are constructed. Scholarship on trans* politics promises to bring more fundamental knowledge about how the gender binary organisation of our societies is (dis)functional, and is therefore relevant and beneficial for all gender and politics scholarship. Contestations around trans* issues continue developing, between state and non-state actors, transgender people and medical professionals, and also among and between social movements. This thematic issue is our contribution to dimensions of trans* politics that revolve around the issue of sexed and gendered bodies (the making and unmaking of “deviant” bodies, non-binary language about bodies, and voice given in bodily re/assignments), the limits of recognition (undermining of trans* agency, persistent binary thinking, and disconnect with material dimensions of gender justice), and the potential of trans* movements (processes and practices through which political claims are generated in the movement, a more forward looking and pro-active perspective on the possibility of alliances between the feminist and the trans* projects, and between the trans* project and the disability project, and alliances of movement actors with institutional power holders such as international courts).

“…To critically explore the work undertaken by legal gender categories, this special issue focuses on one specific proposal: the 'decertification' of sex and gender. This proposal sits alongside others, most notably the proposal to pluralise the gender categories that are legally recognised (e.g., see Katyal 2017;Clarke 2018;Quinan et al 2020). This approach is deemed, by some, to be more viable than abolition since pluralisation augments (and updates) the current legal gender structure rather than dismantling it.…”

Our analysis includes laws that relate specifically to England and Wales as well as laws which also extend to Scotland and Northern Ireland, e.g., see Ministerial and Other Maternity Allowances Act 2021, s7(1). 2 Political contestation over the terms of sex and gender-in what they mean, what they include, and how they operate as material enactments-makes their usage complicated. Our use of gender does not refer principally to identity or expression but to socially institutionalised processes that draw and maintain hierarchical distinctions. These also work with and give meaning to material forms of embodiment, conventionally understood as sex. Thus, we refer to gender in contexts where some sex-based feminists would prefer to talk about sex. Where the law refers explicitly to 'sex', we follow this terminology. However, English law is often inconsistent in its usage of these terms.
