Glossary
Anti-Gender Movement
A global movement against gender “ideology” and other forms of human existence that transgress traditional, normative views of gender and sex (such as drag queens and Gender Studies departments).
Fascism
A political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition (from Merriam-Webster dictionary)
Feminism
A social and political movement(s) that stands for gender equality and fights systems which harm people on the basis of gender and other interlocking axes of oppression (race, ethnicity, class, etc.).
Gender
A socially constructed reality that is fluid and evolving – according to Judith Butler, gender is performative within this constructed reality.
Gender Ideology
A term taken on by the global right to indicate a societal threat by queer conceptions of the body (that gender is not innate and binary). This “ideology” is often seen as a “conspiracy” by the left to disrupt traditional values, such as the family unit.
