Rezensionen

"This book is an ambitious multidisciplinary undertaking to theorize about gender and sex as two social constructs and explain consequences for international human rights law. Gilleri does not hesitate to take distance from prejudiced, outdated or unscientific views, whoever presents them." Martin Scheinin, British Academy Global Professor, University of Oxford, UK

"Combining queer, feminist and psychoanalytical insights, Gilleri exposes the exclusions, confusions - and human rights abuses - that flow from the binary conceptions of sex/gender/sexual orientation assumed by international human rights law. Her examination of the surgical sexing of intersex children and sadomasochistic sexual practices provide compelling illustrations." Dianne Otto, Melbourne Law School, Australia
