Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Thank you!

This was my JMP and a core part of my dissertation, so I'm very excited to see it out in the world. A big thanks to everyone who helped me transform this idea into a reality.

I then test predictions from the theory using an original dataset of cases of first impression. I find support for the theory and evidence that courts are learning from one another when deciding new issues.

I focus on the role of ideology in legal development and find that courts learn most from their ideological allies; however, increasing the ideological distance between courts can either increase or decrease legal uniformity.

In the paper, I explore how courts make decisions when the law is uncertain. Using the Courts of Appeals as a template, I model the process of two courts deciding a new issue. The second court does not need to follow the first court's decision, but they can learn from it.

Okay but what is the book
