The Constitutive In/visibility of the Trans Legal Subject: A Case Study

Abstract

About the Author BCL/LLB, LLM (Bioeth). Metaphorically a biorg witch with flowers in their hair. I am currently pursuing a doctorate in law at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. A French-language version of this paper appeared in an August 2020 special issue of the Canadian Journal of Law and Society: Florence Ashley, L’In/visibilité Constitutive du Sujet Trans: L’Exemple du Droit Québécois, 35 Can. J.L. & Soc’y 317 (2020). I would like to thank the participants of the special issue workshop held on May 3rd, 2019 as part of the On the Margins of Trans Legal Change symposium. I would particularly like to thank Robert Leckey, Samuel Singer, and Dan Irving for their inestimable comments. For her incredible aid and insightful comments, I would also like to thank the French editor-in-chief of the Canadian Journal of Law and Society, Dominique Bernier.
