Book excerpt: The book considers the genealogy of the term gender identity and its entrance and development in international human rights law. Going against the prevailing narrative, the book explores the possibility of refashioning gender identity as a belief; this reframing allows the conflicting rights of women, children and LGB people to be protected and as well as the right of people to express their belief in having a gender identity incongruent with their sex.
