Niebinarna utopia w “uporządkowanej” rzeczywistości – Renaty Ziemińskiej wielowarstwowe pojęcie płci
A Non-binary Utopia in an “Orderly” Reality: On Renata Ziemińska’s Multilayered Concept of Gender

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the book entitled Niebinarne i wielowarstwowe pojęcie płci [Non-Binary and Multi-Layered Notion of Gender] by Renata Ziemińska. The monograph consists of three parts. In each, the author deconstructs categories underlying the existing conceptual structures of gender, stabilized within the binary sex system. The philosopher exposes the shortcomings of the binary division using the example of intersex and transgender people. She proposes the implementation of legal and institutional solutions that would increase the visibility of non-binary people in Western societies. Ziemińska postulates that gender should be analyzed as a multilayered process, conceived of as a variable continuum – dependent on various biological, cultural and environmental factors. Ziemińska proves that a change in thinking about gender is possible and that philosophy can significantly contribute to its implementation.
