The Gender Recognition Act 2004 (GRA) is currently under review by the government and public consultation is due to close in October 2018. The GRA currently legally recognises transgender men and women on the condition that they medicalise their gender identity by receiving a diagnosis of gender dysphoria in a highly stigmatising process. The GRA confuses gender, sex and sexuality; reproduces the gender binary and gendered expectations; and renders a growing number of gender-queer transgender individuals invisible to law. I plan to expose and reformulate these problematic features of the GRA whilst reflecting on the consultation, and conduct interviews and doctrinal research informed by feminist legal theory and queer legal theory. The pressing need for this research must not be underestimated as people in the queer community face considerably higher risks of mental illness, substance abuse, and suicide. If we utilise the unique power of the law through amending the GRA in a way that actually caters for these diverse groups, we may find that this decreases social stigma, bullying, hate crimes and discrimination. We need a dialogue between the law and gender, and a fresh and innovative perspective on how to achieve this.

政府目前正在审查2004年《性别认同法案》(GRA)，公众咨询将于2018年10月结束。GRA目前在法律上承认跨性别者男性和女性，条件是他们通过在高度污名化的过程中接受性别焦虑症的诊断来对自己的性别认同进行医学化。GRA混淆了性别、性和性；再现了性别二元和性别期望；并使越来越多的性别酷儿变性人对法律视而不见。我计划在反思咨询的同时，揭露和重新阐述GRA的这些问题特征，并在女权主义法律理论和酷儿法律理论的指导下进行采访和理论研究。不能低估这项研究的迫切需要，因为酷儿社区的人面临着相当高的精神疾病、药物滥用和自杀的风险。如果我们通过以一种实际上迎合这些不同群体的方式修改GRA来利用法律的独特力量，我们可能会发现这会减少社会耻辱、欺凌、仇恨犯罪和歧视。我们需要在法律和性别之间进行对话，并就如何实现这一点提出新的创新观点。
