In this article, I analyse how the Family Court of Australia constructed ontologies of gender to govern young people’s gender-affirming hormone use. By analysing the ‘reasons for judgment’ published about cases where minors applied for the Court’s authorisation to use hormones, I show that the Court constructed two theories about the ontology of gender concurrently—one essentialist and the other performative—which it leveraged to arbitrate the legitimacy of hormone use. By critically examining the Court’s ontological assertions, I argue that both theories advanced anti-queer directives that tethered the legitimacy of hormone use to its promise to produce normatively gendered subjects. 2023-09-28T03:22:31Z 2023-09-28T03:22:31Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10691-023-09518-9 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9322 vi application/pdf Springer
