    Rodzina wobec kształtowania tożsamości płciowej dziecka w okresie prenatalnym
    Lichtenberg-Kokoszka, Emilia (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2014)
    The first people who face the sexuality o f the child are his parents. They m ust help him to better define the: “Who am I?”, “Who do I feel?”, “Who will I be?”. Meanwhile, the man has at least some types of sexuality – somatic, psychological and social, genetic, gonadal, genital, and hormonal. Individual elements of human sexuality interact strengthening, confirming or denying one another. W hat’s more, they form a “mosaic” which means every person is a little different. And although it seems that parents have little influence on prenatal gender identity of their children, the awareness of the processes involved and intergenerational responsibility seems to be an important factor for the bio, psycho and social health of successive generations. That responsibility shows the family as one of the factors affecting future generations and gender identity. This article presents the process of shaping gender identity in the prenatal period, taking into account factors that affect him. It also underlines the importance of the functioning of the reproductive period of psychosexual health of subsequent generations. I hope it will also provide a reason for deep reflection on how largely existential, ethical and moral issues transpire. Contemplation will allow one to create one’s own view on the development of individual gender identity. In today’s world we have a problem not only with someone specifying gender, but how we relate to persons who do not fit into the scheme of what we perceive to be the “standard man or standard woman”.
