For some time now, there has been a movement in our country aiming to ban the use of the word “gender” due to its alleged association with a so-called gender ideology. Initially, the goal was to prohibit this supposed gender ideology, but it proved elusive to define despite numerous attempts. Essentially, it’s not a clearly defined ideology but rather represents a collection of fears and insecurities surrounding the growing acceptance of diverse gender expressions and sexualities. This is why the so-called gender ideology magically appears even in documents that don’t mention anything resembling a definition of gender ideology, such as the Educational Transformation project or the agreement with the European Union.
