Abstract
This chapter critically assesses some historical and contemporary positions of gender-variant and sexually diverse members of Muslim communities and polities, primarily through the disciplinary lenses of international human rights law and Islamic law. It seeks to contextualise these positions within a broader socio-political context, and in doing so discusses Orientalism, Muslim nationalism and neo-literalism, as well as various forms of sexual/gender exclusionary politics.
