Gender punitivism: Queer perspectives on identity politics in criminal justice

Abstract: The article examines the convergence of identity politics and punitivism, two tendencies that profoundly affect current LGBT activism and state criminal policies. It considers the case of Argentina, a country often deemed exemplary in terms of gender-related legislation, and analyses a 2018 sentence that incorporates the concept of ‘travesticide’ in order to examine how the role of identity in political strategies, added to prevailing notions of gender, limits the possible approaches and answers to violence ag… Show more

“…The "algorithmic adaptation" of this tool was to decode the labeling to indicate that the analyzed image is of a person, a human, a neutral, colorless, and genderless being. Indeed, the results indicate that these analysis tools do not learn and do not know that there are people who do not fit into the categorical double woman/man, so the catalog of possible identities [25] is not part of what machines need to learn.…”

Critics of liberal legal reform question whether following the civil rights and equality strategies of lesbian and gay rights organizations will result in meaningful material and social change under the law (Pérez & Radi 2020). They observe that the liberal project of rights expansion and continued investments in punitive interventions, such as antidiscrimination and hate crime laws, have failed to prevent antitransgender violence while legitimating the carceral apparatus (Ashley 2018a, Meyer 2014, Vipond 2015.…”

“…Walker (forthcoming) writes about abolishing the incarceration of transgender asylum-seekers, as well as overturning the practice of incarcerating migrants in general. Other recent scholarship focusing on abolition includes Pérez and Radi’s (2020) call for “queer criminology as a radical critique and imagination towards a future of gender self-determination and justice” (p. 525) and Redd and Russell’s (2020) discussion of how the genre of governmental apology for state-sanctioned homophobia “ultimately seeks to reinvigorate queer investments in the settler state” (p. 592).…”
