  Abstract:  Gender as a Continuum – Plurality as Pattern of Existence. The article tends to define gender as a continuum with four dimensions: physical (body: sex), psychological (emotion/affect: identity), social (behavior: gender), and sexual (desire: sexual orientation). This concept opens the possibility to discuss femininity, masculinity as well as inter- and transgender of even importance - as equal. The concept is based on the assumption that the borders between the gender related categories become more and more porous and permeable. Such a perspective can open the door for a better theoretical understanding for the existing plurality of gender.

Keywords: identity, corp, desire, social behavior, plurality of gender.
