Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Nonbinary Ontarians may now get an X gender marker on IDs and birth certificates, and gender markers have been removed from Ontario health cards. These changes are part of a broader movement to prevent discrimination against nonbinary and transgender people in Canada. Nonetheless, those who adopt X markers still find that the gender binary structures their experiences in institutional contexts in ways that render nonbinary existence unthinkable. This paper explores the shortcomings of gender marker reform by considering how, to have their identities recognized, nonbinary people must initiate institutional change themselves. By bringing Ahmed’s (2021; 2019) work on complaint into conversation with reproductive labour, this paper discusses how nonbinary people must labour to reproduce conditions that allow for their existence as nonbinary. While gender marker reforms may help dismantle binary logics, the current implementation of gender marker expansion and removal in Ontario cannot accomplish this.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
