Creating space within law for nonbinary genders

About half a million Americans, roughly the population of Miami, currently describe their gender as nonbinary—neither man nor woman—and our regulatory framework needs to do a better job of including them, says Jessica Clarke, assistant professor of law at Vanderbilt Law School. In a paper recently published in the Harvard Law Review, “They, Them and Theirs,” Clarke proposes a legal toolkit for those seeking reforms that would protect the rights of nonbinary people.
