The Cult of Gender Ideology

Over the past few years, there’s been a radical shift in the way people talk about sex and gender in America. All of a sudden, it seems like nobody can agree on basic questions like “what is a woman?”, “what’s the difference between sex and gender?” and “are these categories even real or meaningful?” But where did the new gender ideology come from, and why is it suddenly cropping up in schools across America? How can we protect our children from being exposed to age-inappropriate material without our knowledge, or indoctrinated into a cult of gender ideology? Free the People creative director Sam Martin sat down with Leor Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute who wrote his Ph.D. on how government regulations have affected the introduction and prevalence of gender ideology into schools, to get to the bottom of this thorny and controversial issue.
