Chwytliwy tytuł. Abolicjonizm płci i transowy materializm
Catchy Title – Gender Abolitionism, Trans Materialism and Beyond

Summary/Abstract: The text is a kind of intellectual provocation – in a bold move, she proposes stretching the entire spectrum of queer and trans politics between two poles: trans materialism and gender abolitionism. The former reduces gender to social legibility for the desires of the other, becoming the reverse of sexual orientation (if sexual orientation signifies whom you desire, gender signifies who desires you and how); the latter reduces gender to a merely internal, felt aspect (known through introspection). The author criticizes both approaches for their ties to capitalism, noting that trans materialism treats gender as a commodity, while gender abolitionism treats it as a private value. In conclusion, she calls for finding anti-capitalist alternatives to both of these views.
