The anti-gender movement is an international movement which opposes what it refers to as "gender ideology", "gender theory", or "genderism".
These concepts do not have a coherent definition and cover a variety of issues; "gender ideology" has been described as an "empty signifier" or catch-all term "for all that conservative Catholics despise".
The anti-gender movement rejects the sex and gender distinction, arguing that any gender separate from biological sex should not be recognized. Anti-gender advocates often oppose changes to the traditional family, such as same-sex marriage. The movement derives from Catholic theology beginning in the 1990s, but the protests which brought the movement to attention did not start until around 2012–2013.
