This article is located within the field of culture studies, which is understood here as describing the values and feelings manifested in various human creations. The author analyses a culture whose core is the cultivation of otherness. As sources, the author primarily uses anti-gender publications, complemented by reflection on the philosophy of Slavoj Žižek and the Polish reception of queer theory. The author advances the thesis that the high rank accorded to the same–other pair is to some extent a common feature of both the anti-gender side (male–female) and the queer side (system–non-normativity).
