Transgender Jurisprudence: Dysphoric Bodies of Law is an important book. â Sharpeâs discussion [of trangender jurisprudence]â is convincing and thought-provoking â her observations incisive and legally persuasive â [and] her examination of the fundamental heterosexism and phallocentricity of reform jurisprudence is brilliant. ' -Queenâs Law Journal (Vol 28(1) 2002 pp 363-369 at pp 365 366 368 and 369) Professor Bruce MacDougall of the Faculty of Law University of British Columbia Vancouver 'Transgender Jurisprudence is a work of the most careful and comprehensive scholarship â [and] â will I have no doubt be a standard resource to all those who have reason to work in the area both as practicing lawyers activists or academics in years to come. ' -Sydney Law Review (Vol 24 2002 pp 442-448 at p 443) Professor Desmond Manderson Canada Research Chair in Law & Discourse McGill University Montreal 'Transgender Jurisprudence provides an excellent well-researched contribution to the fields of transgender studies and jurisprudence concerning gender and sexuality. â It is also a valuable contribution to wider discussions concerning feminism poststructuralism and queer studies. ' -Res Publica (Vol 8(3) 2002 pp 275-283 at pp 282-283) Dr Surya Munro of the Department of Law Keele University '[Sharpe] expresses the hope that the book has made an important contribution. That it has done so is beyond doubt. Indeed more than a contribution Sharpe has comprehensively reshaped and redefined the field of transgender jurisprudence. â [T]he end result is a book which is not only sustained integrated and comparative but which introduces a set of original and sophisticated arguments that will provide an indispensable grounding for subsequent work in the field for some time to come. ' -Griffith Law Review (Vol 12(2) 2003 pp 387-390 at p 390) Professor Rosemary Hunter Dean of the Faculty of Law Griffith University [Transgender Jurisprudence] has already become a foundational work by which others will be measured. â [It] sets a high bar â As one who litigates cases on behalf of transgender people as well as those involving same-sex couples seeking marriage rights I think Sharpe has done an incredible job identifying [homophobia as] the source of the tension in such cases.
