Summary/Abstract: The research was conducted in 2015–2020 using the method of focus interviews with 78 pre-service teachers. The aim of the research was to diagnose how social transformations in the field of human gender identity shape students’ attitudes towards intersexuality and transgenderism. It has been demonstrated that pre-service teachers claim that the perception of gender identity changes along with moral changes, and the activities of the media and public benefit organizations lead to a change in the negative attitudes of society towards the problems of human biology in terms of gender, while at the same time students do not feel prepared for contact with an intersex or transgender student.
