Meanings

   • The infringement of human rights, the right to physical integrity, demonstrates that societies violently aim to eliminate reproduction that deviates from repronormative binarism and, through this measure, to re-establish repronormativity. 2016, Nadyne Stritzke, Elisa Scarmuzza, “Trans*, Intersex, and the Question of Pregnancy: Beyond Repronormative Reproduction”, in Stefan Horlacher, editor, Transgender and Intersex: Theoretical, Practical, and Artistic Perspectives, page 149:
   • Science, including social science, has also been used to advance a repronormative objection to same-sex marriage that either denies the procreative capacities of same-sex couples or bemoans the consequences of same-sex parenting. 2017, Ummni Khan, “Racism, Homophobia, and Complusory Able-Bodiedness in the Controversy over Inter-cousin Marrriage”, in Oishik Sircar, Dipika Jain, editors, New Intimacies, Old Desires: Law, Culture and Queer Politics in Neoliberal Times, unnumbered page:
   • For these reasons, I hope legal feminists might consider the ways in which repronormative forces affect women's child-bearing and raising "choices," just as (hetero)sexuality has come to be understood as both compulsory and ineluctably the product of heteronormative forces. 2001 January, Katherine M. Franke, “Theorizing Yes: An Essay On Feminism, Law, And Desire”, in Columbia Law Review, volume 101, number 181, page 197:
