What is meant by “gender ideology?”
According to some doctors and psychiatrists creators of gender ideology, biological sex, gender, orientation and expression, elements that make up the human sexual behavior, are not split options only between the feminine and the masculine. They are gradations and can be combined, giving rise to numerous possibilities.The concept of gender is defined as “a system of roles and relationships between man and the woman, who is not biologically determined but depends on the social, political and economic.As well as the biological sexuality is cream, so the ‘gender’ is a product of education. “
When the child is born, it should not be considered male or female; then she will make that choice. This is called ‘Gender identity’ or ‘gender ideology’. Sexual identity follows from the way the child was polite, so sometimes differs from biological sexuality. One of the goals of this ideology is to eliminate the sexual differences between male and female, which are determined by biological differences between men and women. In fact, there are already schools for children in Sweden and the Netherlands, where one can not call the boy or girl student, calls them just children because they must decide when they grow up will be men or women, which is unnatural.
What teaches us to Catholic doctrine?
The Pope Francis states that “gender ideology is a mistake of the human mind that causes much confusion. Therefore, the family is under attack. “Instead of recognizing that God created people as men and women, ideology states that (being man and a woman) are social builders and now we can decide what we will be.

The Catholic doctrine can not remain indifferent in the face of an ideology that aims to attack the family, marriage, motherhood, fatherhood, morality in sexual life and prenatal life. God created man and woman, the two distinct sexualities, but equal, instituted marriage and family and laws regulating morality. Therefore, Christians must defend the culture that emphasizes and respects the differences between men and women and the value of family.
The Pope Francis adds that, “this is ideological colonization”, meaning “people are colonized with an idea you want to change a mindset or a structure.” In this settlement, there is a plan to implement the gender ideology in schools through the “Municipal Education Plans”.
The Catholic Bishops of the state of São Paulo (Southern Region of the CNBB 1) state that “the consequences of the introduction of this ideology in teaching practice in schools directly contradicts the anthropological configuration of family, transmitted for millennia in all cultures.This would subject the children and young people to an emptying of the process of values cultivated in the family, irreplaceable foundation for the construction of society. Faced with this serious threat to family values, we expect the legislative and executive leaders [of Brazil] a position to guarantee for future generations a school that promotes the family to understand the Brazilian Federal Constitution (Article 226) and the Christian tradition, shaped in Brazilian culture.
