- More about Self-Declaration in the Legal Recognition of Gender
The book "Self-Declaration in the Legal Recognition of Gender" explores the impact of legislation based on the principle of 'self-declaration of legal gender status' through the experiences of trans and gender diverse people. It argues that the jurisdictional boundaries between law and medicine were maintained during the reform process, limiting the impact of the legislation and restricting access to health care in the same year as amending legal gender status was liberalized.

The legal recognition of gender through self-declaration is a topic of significant interest and debate. This book explores the impact of legislation based on the principle of 'self-declaration of legal gender status.' Existing doctrinal and comparative analyses have tended to be polarized, with some strongly supporting or opposing self-declaration. However, this book presents a socio-legal alternative that focuses on how self-declaration is experienced on an embodied level by trans and gender diverse individuals.
The research presented in this book was conducted in Denmark, which became the first European state to adopt self-declaration in June 2014. By analyzing Danish law through a Foucauldian framework that brings together socio-feminist, trans legal scholarship on embodiment and jurisdiction, the book offers the first empirically based and theoretically informed analysis of self-declaration. It draws upon legal consciousness, affect theory, vulnerability, and governmentality literatures to argue that the jurisdictional boundaries between law and medicine were maintained throughout the reform process. This limited the impact of the legislation, enabling access to health care to be restricted in the same year in which amending legal gender status was liberalized.
As the list of states that have adopted self-declaration increases, this intervention offers activists and policymakers insights that may shape their responses to similar reform proposals in the future.
A timely and important assessment, this book will appeal to researchers and practitioners working in trans, gender, feminist legal, and socio-legal studies.
