He works in the intersections of political theory, gender and sexuality studies, studies in law and society, LGBT studies, and transgender studies. He has widely written on the transgender rights movement. His current work investigates state constructions of sex for the purposes of recognition and national projects that use gender as a distributive mechanism. He recently co-authored "The State of Transgender Rights in the United States of America," a working paper written for and presented at a meeting of the Global Dialog on Sexual Health and Well Being, organized by the four regional National Sexuality Resource Centers and "The Transgender Rights Imaginary," published in Feminist and Queer Legal Theory.
