The Other "Sex" in <i>Lawrence v. Texas</i>

The article argues that while the Lawrence v. Texas decision was a landmark victory for sexual autonomy, it failed to address the state's ongoing role in regulating gender categories, leaving transgender individuals marginalized and legally vulnerable. The author emphasizes that the decision reinforced the state's ability to define and enforce binary sex categories, which perpetuates discrimination against transgender people. The article calls for a broader vision of sexual and gender freedom that challenges these regulatory systems.
