“…Though sexual orientation and gender identity minorities may coalesce around the LGBT identity and share similar experiences, policy concerns specific to transgender people can differ significantly from those of the LGB community (Schwenke 2021;Thiel 2014). For example, laws allowing gender marker changes on identity documents may be important for some trans individuals.…”

To what extent do countries protect the rights of transgender people? How does this differ from legal protections countries offer sexual orientation minorities? What conditions are beneficial for advancing trans rights? Limitations in data availability and accessibility make answering these types of trans-specific questions difficult. To address this shortcoming, I introduce a new dataset. The Trans Rights Indicator Project (TRIP) provides insight into the legal situations transgender people faced in 173 countries from 2000 to 2021. The dataset currently includes 14 indicators that capture the presence or absence of laws related to criminalization, legal gender recognition, and anti-discrimination protections. I then use this data to discuss the global status of transgender rights throughout the period and compare these trends to sexual orientation rights. Finally, I conclude with a preliminary analysis of three institutional and cultural factors that may help explain variation in transgender rights throughout the world.

“…Given the scope of this dataset, I used multiple words and phrases to locate and search through electronic sources. The term "transgender" is not universal across time and space (Beemyn 2014;Thiel 2014). For instance, sources commonly used the word "transexual" in earlier years covered by the data.…”

“…LGBTQ+ scholars, though diverse with some benefitting from race, class and gender privileges, are confronted by conservative understandings of core IR concepts and continuing geographical barriers to participation, which prevent our queer and trans colleagues in the global South from participating equally (See Umar, 2023 in this forum). It is also important to note that systemic racism can be sustained by pro-LGBTQI states, namely by associating anti-gay policies with un-civilised countries (Lind, 2014; Thiel, 2014). The rejection of queer theory is not felt merely on a scholarly level.…”

In this commentary, from our positionality as members of the LGBTQA Caucus executive committee, we consider the academic and embodied barriers that stand in the way of a more inclusive IR from the perspective of queer and trans scholars in the discipline. We offer our reflections from our positionalities as queer scholars applying queer theory in IR, including our work in the Caucus to support LGBTQ + scholars in the discipline as a means of confronting what continues to be a very narrowly accessible space – geographically, financially, socially and linguistically. Relatedly, we consider the embodied experience of not belonging to the discipline of IR; an experience that many LGBTQ + scholars will recognise.

“…Various critical and queer analyses of global sexuality politics have much to say about the international. Their critical interrogation of established discourses of order and anarchy should be welcomed by those seeking to transcend current thought traditions within IR (Sjoberg and Weber, 2014; Thiel, 2014).…”

International Relations Theory and Global Sexuality Politics

Responding to efforts to ‘resurrect’ International Relations theory, this article suggests that the study of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) – and, more controversially perhaps, queer – global sexuality politics can bring new and transformative insights to the discipline. The study of this global sexuality politics is replete with ideas and approaches that can and should be integrated with IR theory. The article ﬁrst considers the general absence of global sexuality politics within IR, and why this is signiﬁcant for theorising the international. It then surveys some recent scholarship which shows how the study of global sexuality politics can speak to and within IR.
