Summary/Abstract: The term ‘gender’ plays a role of import in feminist(ic) discussions in Poland. However, it may trigger doubts. Approaching the pair of notions ‘sex’/‘gender’ as mutually opposing ones misses a perspective that is most frequently assumed in gay studies where a naturalness of homoerotism is an important point of argumentation. The postmodernist thought’s cultural standpoint does not provide for a possibility of coming to terms with ecology, the latter being an important challenge of the future.
