• Reevaluating Holloway: Title VII, Equal Protection, and the Evolution of a Transgender Jurisprudence, 70 Temp. L.Rev. 283 (June 1997). An analysis of Title VII and it applications for transgendered people. Drawing from Price Waterhouse, the theory is put forth that transgender discrimination is a form of "sex-stereotyping," and is forbidden by Title VII; courts that refuse to grant Title VII causes of action to transgendered people deny them Equal Protection rights.
• "The Heart Has Reasons That Reason Does Not Know": The Conundrum of Transgender Marriage, (May 1998 -- being readied for publication) An earlier draft of this article was the winner of the 1998 Smith and Leibel Family Law Award. Explores the use of transgender marriages as a means of legalizing same-sex marriages, and analyzes the effects such a legal tactic could have on the transgender community as a whole.
• Transgender Warriors, Personnae Non Grata: A Review, (April 1998) A short unpublished article examining the treatment of transgendered people by the United States military.
