In this article, I refer to the concept of compulsory heterosexuality, characterized by such queer theorists as Adrienne Rich, Sara Ahmed, and Judith Butler. The norms created and popularised by heterosexual couples have a constant impact on the lives of non-heteronormative people, as shown by the example of heroines and narrators of Dorota Kotas’ works (Pustostany 2019, Cukry 2021, Czerwony młoteczek 2023). The strategies adopted towards forced heterosexuality may be based on assimilation - striving to adopt as much as possible - or anti-assimilation, opposing adjustment. I analyze Dorota Kotas’s novels in chronological order, as they were published, noting that issues related to non-heteronormativity are becoming an increasingly common topic in her works. The matter of non-cisgender identity, raised in her latest novel, seems just as important, since the very disruption of the gender binary makes it impossible to establish any kind of homonormativity - a concept treated by some as a direct response to heteronormativity. In the conclusion, I point out that the behavior of Kotas’ heroines clearly shows that it is impossible to escape heteronormativity - even if you oppose it, you exist in relation to the ruling power. This analysis could contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms governing sexual normativity.

Queer theory assumes that identity cannot be crystallized, which may seem contradictory to feminism, rooted in a distinction between cultural and biological sex and centered on women's identity. The aim of the article is to outline the network of connections between both concepts, paying particular attention to the issue of the feminist subject. A review of the mentioned theories may become the basis for reflection on the benefits of combining feminist and queer perspectives in literary studies. Considering the category of femininity in queer research allows for filling the gaps created by the marginalization of non-heteronormative heroines and writers.
