Description

Book Synopsis

Through an analysis of 98 Australian Family Court cases over 20 years, this book reveals how courts deploy ontological, epistemological and teleological arguments to control gender affirmation practices. It demonstrates that legal regulations are not primarily concerned with individual welfare, but with controlling what gender itself can become.
