This article presents a proposal for the linguistic expression of gender non-binarity in Polish. It is based on linguistic material from the pronouns.pl website, which presents suggestions for new forms referring to various word types: nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and verbs. The discussion centers on the linguistic practices proposed by gender nonbinary persons to express their own identities in Polish. Those whose gender does not align with the male‒female (binary) gender system are offered the possibility of different forms as a reflection of inclusive language use. This analysis focuses on so-called neutral forms (Pol. neutratywy). It examines the processes of their formation and patterns of inflection, as well as the possibilities of realizing this practice in everyday language use.
