Abstract: Abstract This book considers key personal, political and pedagogical approaches to trans, sex/gender expansive and intersex people in various policy fields such as sex/gender recognition legislation, medical diagnoses, medical interventions and educational policies. The book also contemplates how self-determination relates to sex/gender, transitions and expressions, and how it corresponds to current debates around binary sex/gender embodiment. The relevant human and non-human qualities that are addressed throughout the book are not analyzed in relation to someone’s or something’s inherent nature but demonstrated to be desired and then produced in specific assemblages. These assemblages of becoming-human and becoming-social are constituted by looking to the immediate pasts, present contexts, and potential future directions of being able to self-determine sex/gender within the different policy domains. The book then is a commentary on ethical relationships. My approach to sex/gender self-determination shows how a variety of human and non-human forces are enrolled in moralizing and thus denigrating the promotion of ethical frameworks that impact inequitably on trans, sex/gender expansive, intersex people and cis people. The book suggests that any truly ethical policy and engagement with it must acknowledge these relationships through a ‘nomadic ethics’ framework. Drawing on the Deleuzian concepts of assemblage, affect and desire this book takes you on a journey of interconnected trajectories of human and non-human bodies and personal, political and pedagogical policies.

Abstract
This book considers key personal, political and pedagogical approaches to trans, sex/gender expansive and intersex people in various policy fields such as sex/gender recognition legislation, medical diagnoses, medical interventions and educational policies. The book also contemplates how self-determination relates to sex/gender, transitions and expressions, and how it corresponds to current debates around binary sex/gender embodiment. The relevant human and non-human qualities that are addressed throughout the book are not analyzed in relation to someone’s or something’s inherent nature but demonstrated to be desired and then produced in specific assemblages. These assemblages of becoming-human and becoming-social are constituted by looking to the immediate pasts, present contexts, and potential future directions of being able to self-determine sex/gender within the different policy domains. The book then is a commentary on ethical relationships. My approach to sex/gender self-determination shows how a variety of human and non-human forces are enrolled in moralizing and thus denigrating the promotion of ethical frameworks that impact inequitably on trans, sex/gender expansive, intersex people and cis people. The book suggests that any truly ethical policy and engagement with it must acknowledge these relationships through a ‘nomadic ethics’ framework. Drawing on the Deleuzian concepts of assemblage, affect and desire this book takes you on a journey of interconnected trajectories of human and non-human bodies and personal, political and pedagogical policies.
