| Summary: | This article explores the concept of gender identity of the famous American economist
Deirdre McCloskey. The concept has three key elements: Firstly, gender identity does not directly
refer to sexual orientation. Secondly, gender identity closely related with individual free choice is one
of the most important parts of personal self-determination. Finally, the process of gender identity
formation to much extend refers to symbolical social acceptance rather than natural qualities
development. The paper concludes that McCloskey’s concept represents yet another model of
denaturalization of gender differences in contemporary philosophy, as in McCloskey's works sex is
seen as a lifestyle, rather than as a physiological reality. |
