Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review
Abstract
The note critically examines the necessity and implications of gender markers on identification documents under international law, arguing that current practices disproportionately burden transgender and gender-diverse individuals. It contends that the registration of gender often fails to align with international human rights standards, perpetuating discrimination and administrative violence. The analysis advocates for a reevaluation of gender registration to ensure it respects self-determination and privacy rights while addressing practical concerns.
