David Reimer's Legacy: Limiting Parental Discretion, Hazel Glenn Beh, Milton Diamond Jan 2005

David Reimer's Legacy: Limiting Parental Discretion, Hazel Glenn Beh, Milton Diamond

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that parents should not have unilateral authority to consent to surgeries aimed at normalizing intersex children's genitalia. It emphasizes that such decisions should be deferred until the child can make informed choices, highlighting the long-term psychological and physical risks associated with early surgeries.


Hacking The Gender Binary Myth: Recognizing Fundamental Rights For The Intersexed, Sara R. Benson Jan 2005

Hacking The Gender Binary Myth: Recognizing Fundamental Rights For The Intersexed, Sara R. Benson

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that current medical practices allowing parents and doctors to assign a physical sex to intersex children through surgery violate the child's fundamental rights to bodily integrity, personality, gender identity, and sexuality. These rights, while not yet fully defined in jurisprudence, provide a framework for protecting individuals from unwarranted governmental and medical intrusion. The article advocates for delaying such decisions until the child can consent, drawing on the Colombian Constitutional Court's recognition of a child's right to develop their gender identity. It also highlights the broader implications for transgender rights and challenges societal gender binaries.


Outside The Law: Intersex, Medicine And The Discourse Of Rights, Jo Bird Jan 2005

Outside The Law: Intersex, Medicine And The Discourse Of Rights, Jo Bird

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that the legal system perpetuates the erasure of intersex individuals by constructing intersex as a medical rather than a legal issue, leading to human rights violations. It contends that the law requires individuals to fit into a binary sex classification to be recognized as fully human, thereby denying intersex people legal visibility and protection. The article advocates for the recognition of intersex as a legal category to address the systemic discrimination and violence intersex individuals face, particularly in medical practices.


Cutting It: Surgical Interventions And The Sexing Of Children, Marie Fox, Michael Thomson Jan 2005

Cutting It: Surgical Interventions And The Sexing Of Children, Marie Fox, Michael Thomson

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article critiques the normalization of non-consensual surgical interventions on children, particularly focusing on male circumcision and intersex surgeries, arguing that these practices are rooted in cultural and gender norms rather than medical necessity. It challenges the legal and ethical frameworks that allow such surgeries, emphasizing the need for informed consent and stricter regulations.

Intersex And Intrasex Debates: Building Alliances To Challenge Sex Discrimination, Julie A. Greenberg

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article discusses the challenges faced by the intersex movement in challenging medical protocols for intersex infants and the debates within the movement regarding treatment approaches. It highlights the importance of forming alliances with other social justice movements, such as feminists and LGBT organizations, to effectively combat sex discrimination. The article proposes using a gender nonconformity theory, as recognized in legal cases like Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, to unify these groups in their fight against discrimination.

Engendering Sex: Birth Certificates, Biology And The Body In Anglo American Law, Saru Matambanadzo Jan 2005

Engendering Sex: Birth Certificates, Biology And The Body In Anglo American Law, Saru Matambanadzo

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article critically examines the legal determination of sex, particularly for transgender individuals, arguing that current systems relying on rigid biological definitions fail to account for the complexity of gender identity. It advocates for a shift towards recognizing "lived gender," which integrates biology, culture, psychology, and social interactions to create a more inclusive and accurate legal framework. This approach challenges traditional legal and medical constructs that have historically marginalized transgender individuals and calls for legal reform to better reflect individual experiences and promote inclusivity.


Out Of The O.R. And Into The Streets: Exploring The Impact Of Intersex Media Activism, Sharon E. Preves Jan 2005

Out Of The O.R. And Into The Streets: Exploring The Impact Of Intersex Media Activism, Sharon E. Preves

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

Babies are born intersexed, with ambiguous genitalia or other reproductive anatomical features, every day. Physical sexual ambiguity occurs frequently, affecting approximately one in 2000 births. Most infants born intersexed are surgically and hormonally altered to reflect the sexual anatomy associated with "standard" female or male sex assignment. This article explores the mobilization and methods of intersex individuals and their allies to destigmatize intersexuality and to alter the medical treatment they receive. I explore the intersex movement's use of mass media as a strategic activist tool and the implications of this mobilization for cultural and medical reform, arguing that media attention …


What Happened At Hopkins: The Creation Of The Intersex Management Protocols, Alison Redick Jan 2005

What Happened At Hopkins: The Creation Of The Intersex Management Protocols, Alison Redick

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the development of intersex management protocols at Johns Hopkins University, highlighting their significance as a pivotal shift in medical treatment and the conceptual understanding of sex and gender. It argues that these protocols, introduced by John Money and his team in 1955, moved away from a case-by-case approach to a standardized method, influenced by Money's theory of gender acquisition, which emphasized environmental factors over biological ones. The protocols aimed to enforce binary gender norms through practices like early surgical interventions, which the article critiques as flawed and harmful.


Radical Tweak-Relocating The Power To Assign Sex, Elizabeth Reilly Jan 2005

Radical Tweak-Relocating The Power To Assign Sex, Elizabeth Reilly

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that the legal system's enforcement of binary sex classification perpetuates harm against intersex individuals by mandating sex assignment at birth and enabling non-consensual medical interventions. It proposes removing sex designation from birth certificates to allow individuals to self-identify their sex later in life, promoting autonomy and reducing harm.


Sharply Drawn Lines: An Examination Of Title Ix, Intersex, And Transgender, Emily Q. Shults Jan 2005

Sharply Drawn Lines: An Examination Of Title Ix, Intersex, And Transgender, Emily Q. Shults

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article advocates for a broader interpretation of Title IX to protect transgender and intersex individuals from discrimination in educational settings. It argues that the current legal framework's rigid binary understanding of sex and gender is outdated and harmful, and that discrimination based on gender identity and expression constitutes sex discrimination under Title IX. The author emphasizes the need for legal adaptation to recognize the fluidity of sex and gender.

Finders-Keepers: A Bright-Line Rule Awarding Custody To Gestational Mothers In Cases Of Fertility Clinic Error, Josh Deutsch Jan 2005

Finders-Keepers: A Bright-Line Rule Awarding Custody To Gestational Mothers In Cases Of Fertility Clinic Error, Josh Deutsch

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note advocates for the adoption of a "gestational brightline rule" to resolve custody disputes arising from fertility clinic errors, arguing that this approach provides legal clarity, avoids emotional harm, and withstands constitutional scrutiny. It critiques the intent test for its inadequacy in such cases and proposes that the gestational mother should be awarded custody, with exceptions for cases involving felony or substance abuse by the birth mother. The rule is justified by the gestational mother's physiological and emotional connection to the child, as well as the need to prevent legal uncertainty and reduce litigation costs.


Do Prisoners Get A Better Deal? Comparing The Abortion Rights And Access Of Military Women Stationed Abroad To Those Of Women In Prison, Leah Ginsberg Jan 2005

Do Prisoners Get A Better Deal? Comparing The Abortion Rights And Access Of Military Women Stationed Abroad To Those Of Women In Prison, Leah Ginsberg

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the systemic barriers faced by military women and incarcerated individuals in accessing abortion services, despite Supreme Court rulings that establish a woman's right to abortion. It highlights how statutory bans, restrictive policies, and logistical challenges disproportionately affect these groups, arguing that their unique circumstances—such as overseas deployment or incarceration—subject them to additional layers of legal and practical obstacles. The analysis underscores the need for legislative or executive action to address these inequities and ensure constitutional rights are upheld.


The Ramifications Of The Fcc's Failure To Minimize Negative Media Portrayals Of Latinas And Black Women, Fiordaliza Batista Jan 2005

The Ramifications Of The Fcc's Failure To Minimize Negative Media Portrayals Of Latinas And Black Women, Fiordaliza Batista

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has failed to address the systemic issue of negative and stereotypical portrayals of minorities, particularly minority women, in media. These portrayals perpetuate racial and gender stereotypes, contributing to societal discrimination and violence. The FCC's inaction, coupled with its refusal to recognize minority status in licensing and employment practices, exacerbates these issues. The note calls for revised policies to promote diversity and accurate representations in broadcasting, emphasizing the need for regulatory reforms to address these harms.

Home Alone: Children Of Incarcerated Mothers In New York City Under The Rockefeller Drug Laws, Aron M. Zimmerman Jan 2005

Home Alone: Children Of Incarcerated Mothers In New York City Under The Rockefeller Drug Laws, Aron M. Zimmerman

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The Rockefeller Drug Laws of 1973, among the harshest in the nation, have failed to reduce drug trafficking or abuse and have instead led to unjust outcomes, disproportionately impacting racial minorities and women. These laws, which mandate draconian sentences based solely on drug type and quantity, tie judges' hands and prioritize incarceration over treatment, despite evidence that treatment is more cost-effective and reduces recidivism. Recent reforms offer some progress, but significant systemic changes are needed to address the laws' ongoing harm and restore judicial discretion in sentencing.

Boston's Settlement Housing: Social Reform In An Industrial City, Meg Streiff Jan 2005

Boston's Settlement Housing: Social Reform In An Industrial City, Meg Streiff

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Between the Civil War and World War I, American cities underwent dramatic changes: they changed in shape, they changed in size, they changed in terms of who was there, and how those individuals were distributed through the city. The driving force behind these urban morphological changes was industrialization – and the emergence of industrial slums on the edges of expanding business districts. These industrial slums were widely believed to breed disease, crime, intemperance, and immorality – external costs that were being born by the entire society. Yet American society and American philanthropic institutions were not prepared to deal with the …

Verbal And Nonverbal Immediacy: Sex Differences And International Teaching Assistants, Tiwa Saechou Jan 2005

Verbal And Nonverbal Immediacy: Sex Differences And International Teaching Assistants, Tiwa Saechou

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation explains theory and research concerning international teaching assistants, intercultural communication, nonverbal and verbal immediacy, cognitive, affective, and behavioral learning, and sex differences. One research question and five hypotheses were tested via MANOVA and correlation tests. Six hundred and seven undergraduate students completed instruments measuring verbal and nonverbal immediacy, and cognitive, affective, and behavioral learning. Results supported the research question and three of the five hypotheses. Specifically, U.S. Teaching Assistants used more nonverbal immediacy than International Teaching Assistants. Students’ attitudes toward International Teaching Assistants correlated with students’ learning. Students’ perceptions of ITAs and USTAs on verbal and nonverbal immediacy …
