Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to describe the most important problems faced by the contemporary trans(gender) literature in Poland. The analysis was carried out on two main axes: with the distinction of texts identified as (1) heteronormative and non-heteronormative, and (2) homonormative and non(hetero/homo)normative. Moreover, author provides some interesting examples of trans negative and trans positive literature. An important element of this article is the analysis of the autobiographical texts inscribed in the axis of non(hetero/homo)normative literature and trans positive literature. In the last part of the article, the author highlights the importance of the first transgender children book published in Poland “Kim jest ślimak Sam?” by Maria Pawłowska and Jakub Szamałek.
