LIONCO, Tatiana; ALVES, Ana Clara de Oliveira; MATTIELLO, Felipe and FREIRE, Amanda Machado. Gender Ideology: argumentative strategy that forges scientificity for religious fundamentalism. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.43, pp.599-621. ISSN 1519-549X.
"Gender ideology" has been the main argument for religious fundamentalists and conservative extremists for the offensive against sexual rights in Brazil, with an emphasis on curtailing gender and sexuality education in schools. This research project proposes to map the argumentative strategies adopted in published books on "gender ideology" and in the legislative proposals that aim to censor the debate on gender and sexuality in schools from this argument. It analyzes a sample of publications available in the Brazilian publishing market on "gender ideo-logy", as well as the legislative proposals appended around the project School Without Party. Through this mapping that outlines the main arguments in these materials, it aims to subsidize new research projects that will contribute to the critical consideration of the arguments that have been adopted by religious fundamentalists in an offensive against sexual rights in progress in the country.
