Tożsamość bez płci, czyli ucieczki z pięknego snu
Genderless Identity, or: Escaping a Beautiful Dream

Summary/Abstract: An article devoted to transgenderism, which, the authors prove, has yet to receive consent, as it upsets the medical categories of gender and the “shared dogma of hetero- and metrosexual norms, as if only biology could reveal the truth about a person’s identity.” The authors provide a range of examples to show how discourse creates both gender and identity. They then describe and analyze Split Britches’ drama Belle Reprieve, which brings a critical perspective to the heterosexual relationships between the figures in A Streetcar Named Desire – both in Williams’s drama and in Kazan’s film – simultaneously putting forward their own utopia of eternally deferred identity.
