Many transgender people find themselves in the bizarre situation of having different sex classifications on different documents. Whether yo u can change your legal sex to “F” or “M” (or more recently “X”) depends o n what state you live in\, what jurisdiction you were born in\, and what g overnment agency you’re dealing with. In this talk\, Paisley Currah explor es this deeply flawed system\, showing why it fails transgender and non-bi nary people and reveals the hidden logics that have governed sex classific ation policies in the United States.\n\nThe speaker\n\nPaisley Currah is a Professor of Political Science and Women’s & Gender Studies at Brooklyn C ollege and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Currah has written widely on transgender issues\, including on topics such as dis crimination\, sex reclassification\, and the transgender rights movement. He is author of the book “Sex Is as Sex Does: Governing Transgender Identi ty” (NYU Press\, 2022)\n DTSTART:20220915T210000Z DTEND:20220915T220000Z LOCATION:Room 101\, New Chancellor Day Hall SUMMARY:Sex Is as Sex Does: Governing Transgender Identity URL:/law/channels/event/sex-sex-does-governing-transge nder-identity-341214 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
