The author is trying to reconstruct the causes of moral panic around the concept of gender and she is searching for reasons why this category is used in the Polish press with the term "ideology". Justifying the relevance of gender for pedagogy, she compares the arguments of the supporters and opponents of spreading scientific reflections about gender roles in school. Seeking opportunities for dialogue between researchers and essayists, she asks about the role of educators in re-thinking the gender theory and stresses urgent need to engage in a public debate.

This review assesses Transgender and Intersex: Theoretical, Practical, and Artistic Perspectives (2016), edited by Stefan Horlacher. Inspired by the international and interdisciplinary conference on “Transgender and Intersex in the Arts, Science and Society” that was held in 2012 in Dresden and that gathered researchers, activists, and artists working in transgender and intersex studies, the collection aims at mapping potential alliances between intersex and transgender positions, while acknowledging that the interests of transgender and intersex communities and researchers may be conflicting, if not at times contradictory. The volume adopts a non-hierarchical, multiperspectival, and interdisciplinary approach to examine a variety of issues related to gender variance and politics of recognition. Accordingly, the articles focus on those processes and texts that have played major roles in deconstructing and reconstructing gender identities during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and present analyses of legal and sociopolitical issues, theoretical perspectives and dilemmas, and literary and visual representations. The diverse topics and perspectives embrace the ethical framework of human rights, so as to inquire into the ways through which the lives and representations of marginalized groups can be improved.

La teoria del “gender” si riferisce all’opinione che l’identità sessuale non è determinata dal sesso biologico di una persona, ma indica il genere in cui un individuo si identifica in base ai propri desideri soggettivi. Tale teoria tratta le differenze tra i sessi come elettive e socialmente costruite. Sostiene che una persona può nascere con un corpo che non corrisponde all’identità maschile o femminile “percepita”. Questo ha profonde implicazioni sociali: nega la differenza e la reciprocità nella natura di un uomo e una donna e immagina una società senza differenze sessuali, eliminando così la base antropologica della famiglia. La Chiesa cattolica respinge questa ideologia, insegnando che Dio crea le persone come maschio o femmina e che il corpo e l’anima sono così uniti da formare un essere completo; quindi la differenza sessuale non è un incidente o un difetto, ma è un dono di Dio che aiuta le persone ad avvicinarsi l’uno all’altra e a Dio stesso. La Chiesa afferma altresì che il proprio sesso biologico fa parte del piano divino e che ogni persona dovrebbe riconoscere e accettare la propria identità sessuale basata sulla complementarietà dei sessi. Ogni persona è chiamata a sviluppare la propria identità sessuale in un modo che integri la propria mascolinità o femminilità nell’ambito delle relazioni con gli altri. L’articolo presenta l’insegnamento del Magistero della Chiesa cattolica e spiega che la complementarità tra i sessi non è intesa come fonte di oppressione o disuguaglianza, ma testimonia la bellezza del piano di Dio per l’umanità

The discussion of gender theory refers to the opinion that sex is not determined by a person’s biological sex, but is a separate matter that is defined according to the subjective desires of the individual. This theory treats the differences between the sexes as elective and socially constructed. Holds that a person can be born with a body that does not match his or her „perceived” male or female identity. This has profound social implications: denies the difference and the reciprocity in the nature of a man and a woman and imagines a society without sexual differences, thus eliminating the anthropological base of the family. The Catholic Church rejects this ideology, teaching that God creates persons as male or female and that the body and soul are so united as to form one complete being, therefore the sexual difference is not an accident or a flaw, but it is a gift from God that helps draw them closer to each other and to God. The Church affirms that one’s biological sex is part of the divine plan and that every person should acknowledge and accept his or her sexual identity based on the complementarity of the sexes. Every person is called to develop their sexual identity in a way that integrates their masculinity or femininity, and their call to live in relationship with others. The article presents the teaching of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and explains that the complementarity between the sexes is not meant to be a source of oppression or inequality, but it testifies to the beauty of God's plan for humanity.

Belgian data from the PIDOP project show that boys are more involved than girls in illegal political actions, namely the production of graffiti and other acts of “incivility”. These activities must be considered in both groups as complementary to conventional political and social participation and not as their opposite. The main explanatory factor is the level of the perceived efficaciousness of such actions. The lack of trust in institutions and the level of awareness of societal discrimination play no significant explanatory role. In males, the involvement level in these activities depends on feelings of personal discrimination and on the lack of freedom concerning individual choice, confirming the theory of societal vulnerability and Honneth’s theory of recognition. This level also increases along with increasing opportunities to make acquaintances and have fun in the neighbourhood. In females, this involvement is explained by the distance with regard to pro-sociality level.
