Summary/Abstract: In order to understand how to confront the narratives and consequences of the so-called anti-gender movement and the policies that shape it, we must first comprehend what it represents, where it originates from, its underlying intentions, how it has expanded, and what its ultimate objectives are. This movement emerged as a critique or response to concepts developed by the proponents of these policies – gender theory or gender ideology. The very term gender ideology is the fundamental premise of these policies – an empty signifier, an alleged threat to humanity, deliberately crafted to sound academic or scientific, thus making it accessible for the general public to grasp. In reality, it means nothing, as gender ideology does not exist – only gender as a concept does.
