The controversial politics of abolishing legal sex in Britain | UCL IOE

Professor Davina Cooper explores the politics of abolishing legal sex/ gender status (described as decertification) – attending to its value, and its risks as a sharply controversial proposal in 21st century Britain. Trans-inclusivity Seminar Series This talk is part of a multi-month series that started from 14 February continuing until June 2024 with a variety of talks given by leading academics and current researchers in trans-inclusive research and study. It is no coincidence that the series started during LGBT+ history month - as the IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society, looks to celebrate trans-inclusivity with UCL's own academics along with our invited external speakers. Each event will be advertised in good time but separately when practical arrangements have been fully made for each. There will be enough time for participants - within and outside the university to sign up to the in-person event - or the livestream which will be available for each public speaking event. The Trans-inclusivity Seminar Series has been funded by UCL's LEIG (LGBTQ+ Equality Implementation Group). --- Visit the IOE website: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe Follow IOE on social media: • Twitter:   / ioe_london   • Facebook:   / ioelondonofficial   • Instagram:   / ioelondon   • LinkedIn:   / ucl-ioe   #WeAreIOE Listen to the IOE Podcast: https://bit.ly/ioepodcast -- © University College London This video is for general information and guidance only.
