Governing the Terrain Called Beauty
Revolutionary Cuba does not recognize the liberal rights on which LGBTQ advocates in the United States rely. How then, has legal progress occurred for LGTBQ people in Cuba? This book traces the history of LGBTQ identity and law in Cuba and the US from the turn of the twentieth century through the legalization of same-sex marriage. It investigates material and discursive conditions during and after the Cold War and the under-recognized importance …
Trump’s Anti-Trans, Anti-Gender Executive Orders
This is a transcribed interview with professors K.J. Rawson and Libby Adler, with questions from board chair Carla Kaplan, discussing the initial actions by the second Trump administration to set back transgender progress and erase all federal government recognition of trans existence. Much of the discussion focuses on Donald Trump’s executive orders from his first week in office, purporting to govern everything from military participation to pas…

Libby Adler offers a comprehensive critique of the mainstream LGBT legal agenda in the United States, showing how LGBT equal rights discourse drives legal advocates toward a narrow array of reform objectives that do little to help the lives of the most marginalized members of the LGBT community
The Dignity of Sex
Dignity, for a long time, has stood for at least two broad ideas. The first idea is that all human beings have dignity innately. This idea has a theological incarnation, according to which human beings have dignity because they were created in the image of God, as well as a secular incarnation, according to which human beings have dignity because they have rationality. Dignity in its second usage derives from social rank. It distinguishes rather …
