Documenting Gender
By Dean Spade
April 2008
In the last few years, both
the passage of the Real ID Act and the implementation of
new data comparison practices between administrative
agencies such as departments of motor vehicles (DMVs) and
the Social Security Administration (SSA) have emerged with
the aims of enforcing immigration laws about work
eligibility and bolstering national security. This Article,
published in the Hastings Law Journal, uses the
example of gender reclassification rules, an area of
administrative governance in which the impacts of current
trends toward national standardization of local practices is
significant, to look at this trend of standardization of ID
policies and what it reveals about administrative
governance.
