Concept of the Idea of Non-Binary Gender and Androgyny: Theoretical Aspects of the Phenomena of the Present Time

Abstract

The anthropological revolution, which fell on the XX and XXI centuries, turned not only the ideological (philosophical) perception of the world by society, but also made changes to the socio-cultural aspect of life, expanding the idea of the desires of surrounding people and adding such concepts as "sex" and "gender". In turn, postantropological time, that is, the period after the great cultural and social crisis, significantly expanded the capabilities of society in relation to legalization of a new type of human — "non-binary gender". Despite the new realities, modern Russia adheres to the traditional binary gender system, in which the terms "sex" and "gender" are opposite categories, separating men and women. The article studies the philosophy of the phenomenon of androgyny, which was studied by thinkers and public figures of many eras. This movement had a great influence on the works of contemporaries, including Judith Butler, who, as part of her theory, considered the concept of androgynous as a self-sufficient creature. This research shows the connection between androgyny and non-binary gender, studies an alternative to basic theories about gender, which is not included in the generally accepted concepts and emphasizes the policy of the Russian Federation in relation to strengthening family values, long-standing traditions, as well as to the sex definition adopted at the state level.
