anti-gender

Against gender distinctions

Anti-gender describes opposition to contemporary ideas about gender identity, gender studies, or policies that recognize gender as distinct from biological sex.

The term typically appears in academic and political contexts: anti-gender movements in Europe, anti-gender rhetoric.

Those labeled anti-gender usually reject the term, preferring descriptions like "pro-family" or "gender-critical."
