→Opposition to the Gender ideology
While some feminists such as Judith Butler advocate gender ideology, not all feminists agree with it. There is a disagreement and vigorous war of words between transsexuals and radical feminists who do not accept biological men as "women".<ref>https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/08/04/woman-2</ref>

Transgenders have even created an acronym TERF meaning "trans-exclusionary radical feminist" which they use as a term of denunciation, hostility and abuse. <ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/trans-people-have-no-dispute-with-feminists-they-either-support-transgender-rights-or-they-do-not-a6872546.html</ref>

Despite scientific advance, and this vocal opposition from some radical feminist groups, LGBT activists have continued to persuade politicians worldwide to adopt gender theory as "progress" and legislate accordingly.

A number of Bulgarian religious groups, including the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, also opposed the treaty, claiming its ratification would lead to the legalization of same-sex marriage in Bulgaria or increase the likelihood of young people identifying as transgender.
==Opposition to the Gender ideology==
Bulgarian President Rumen Radev also spoke out against the treaty, Reuters reported, and claimed it did not in fact prevent violence, because the problem still exists in countries that have ratified it.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=After Bulgaria, Slovakia too fails to ratify the Istanbul Convention |url=https://www.euractiv.com/section/future-eu/news/after-bulgaria-slovakia-too-fails-to-ratify-the-istanbul-convention/ |author=Georgi Gotev |publisher=EURACTIV Network |date=23 Feb 2018 |accessdate=9 Jul 2018 |quote=ast week Bulgarian PM Boyko Borissov withdrew from parliament a motion to ratify the Istanbul Convention, faced with ever-growing opposition, first from its coalition partner, the United Patriots, the opposition socialists, and more broadly, with the population. ... Detractors claim that this opens the door to legalising gay marriage and promoting homosexuality in school by so-called promoters of “gender ideology”. “Unless there is full compliance with the provisions of the convention with the definition of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman, I will never agree to ratify.” Slovakia’s parliament amended its Constitution in 2014 to define marriage as a union between man and woman, which stirred protest among rights groups at the time.}}</ref>

The term "Gender ideology" is mainly used by [[Latin American]] [[Conservatives]]. One of the most important writers about the topic is [[Agustín Laje]] along with [[Nicolás Márquez]] who wrote "[[The Black Book of the New Left]]" (''El libro negro de la Nueva Izquierda''), a book that denounces the Gender ideology, the [[Feminism|Third Wave of Feminism]], [[Moral relativism]], [[Abortion]], [[Indigenism]] and many other forms of [[Cultural Marxism]] that were introduced by the [[Sao Paulo Forum]] in the 90s to the Latin American Politics.
In Peru there is a Movement called [[Con Mis Hijos No Te Metas]] (''Don't mess with my children'' in English) which has strongly opposed the Gender ideology.
In Chile and Argentina there have been marches against the ideology alongside [[Pro-Life]] Marches.
Brazilian President [[Jair Bolsonaro]] in his inauguration speech mentioned his opposition to the ideology.
Paragguay President [[Mario Abdo Benítez]] and his predecessor [[Horacio Cartes]] have also started policies against the implementation of the ideology in the [[Paraguay|Paraguayan State]].
There has also been initiatives like the [[Bus of Liberty]] (''Bus de la Libertad''), a bus that says "Nicolás has the right to a mom and a dad, less state, more family."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.t13.cl/noticia/nacional/el-polemico-bus-libertad-inicia-su-recorrido-calles-santiago|title=Manifestaciones marcan inicio del recorrido del "Bus de la libertad" por Santiago|publisher=T13|language=es|date=July 10, 2017}}</ref> and "The boys have a penis and the girls have a vulva, do not be fooled."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.emol.com/noticias/Tendencias/2017/03/01/847301/Madrid-prohibe-circulacion-del-bus-con-mensaje-anti-transexual-e-investiga-posible-delito-de-odio.html|title=Madrid prohíbe circulación de bus con mensaje anti transexual e investiga posible delito de odio|publisher=Emol.com|date=March 1, 2017|language=es}}</ref> This bus has been in [[Santiago]] and [[Madrid]].

Russian Federation President [[Vladimir Putin]] said at the 2022 [[Valdai Club]] Conference: "Respecting the peculiarities of people and [[civilization]]s is in everyone's interest. Actually, it is in the interest of [[the West]] too, as it loses superiority. The West is quickly becoming a minority, culture-wise. That said, [[Western civilization|Western culture]] should be respected, just like any other. If Western [[elitism|elites]] believe that they can incorporate into the minds of their people, their societies, things that I personally find somewhat weird, and which are apparently in fashion, like dozens of genders and [[gay pride]] parades, so be it. Let them do whatever they want. But the West has no right to impose their cultural preferences on other [[nation]]s and societies. [[Russia]] does not lecture others on how they should live, and does not want to be lectured."
