Long abstract	Is a science of (non-)gender Identity constitution possible? What would be the object and proper method of this science? And, most importantly, what new spaces of (non-)philosophical investigation can be opened in light of such an analysis? At some point in time during its perpetual production and proliferation of problems, philosophy stumbled across a problem it called “the subject.” As time passed and philosophy roared on, the question of the subject has taken many differ-ent forms, been approached with many different methods and has yielded incredibly diverse and distinct answers.We have now come to a point where we no longer need to ask philosophically “what is the subject?” and “how is the subject’s individuality constituted?” but instead ask non-philosophically“how has philosophy produced its hypotheses, conditioned its methods and pre-determined its conclusions regarding the subject?”

Is a science of (non-)gender Identity constitution possible? What would be the object and proper method of this science? And, most importantly, what new spaces of (non-)philosophical investigation can be opened in light of such an analysis? At some point in time during its perpetual production and proliferation of problems, philosophy stumbled across a problem it called “the subject.” As time passed and philosophy roared on, the question of the subject has taken many differ-ent forms, been approached with many different methods and has yielded incredibly diverse and distinct answers.We have now come to a point where we no longer need to ask philosophically “what is the subject?” and “how is the subject’s individuality constituted?” but instead ask non-philosophically“how has philosophy produced its hypotheses, conditioned its methods and pre-determined its conclusions regarding the subject?”
