Bolsonaro has banned "the ideology of the genre" in the …

Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday ordered Education Minister Abraham Weintraub to ban "gender ideology" in basic education, thus achieving one of his electoral promises and progressing in the rigid position of suppressing the trend in this direction that they had marked the governments of Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff. The measure should spark a wave of criticism, particularly from the education sector, which is very critical of Bolsonaro's policy.

"I ordered the Ministry of Education to prepare a legislative proposal banning the ideology of gender in basic education," Bolsonaro announced on Twitter. And he justified his decision on "the principle of integral protection of children, enshrined in the Brazilian National Constitution". Bolsonaro is consistent with his own ideology, conservative evangelism. His cabinet has only two women (out of a total of 22 ministers). One of them is Damares Alves, who is in charge of the Women, Family and Human Rights Portfolio, who in her inaugural address has clearly indicated her ideological limits: "A new era begins in Brazil, where children wear girls in pink. "There are no nuances or anything that disturbs the rigid categories of the minister.

Minister Alves also badured that the government's mission is to make children between the ages of four and five understand that women should have the same rights and opportunities, but that they should be treated differently "because they are women ". And his contribution on March 8 was to launch a campaign against gender-based violence called "Hail a Woman" featuring makeup artists, stylists and manicurists.

With his characteristic accuracy in manipulating abstract concepts (or perhaps contributing to general confusion), the leader of Alves calls "gender identity" "gender identity". Gender identity is the psychological perception that an individual has of himself as his own kind. This may or may not correspond to your badual characteristics and is conceived as a right to badual diversity. It breaks with cultural and social preconceptions by avoiding being limited to the feminine and the masculine. It is considered a central human right since it defends freedom of choice without distinction and accepts the badual minorities represented by the LGBT movement.

Brazil has no specific law on gender identity, like its neighbors Argentina and Uruguay, but an important decision was made by the Federal Supreme Court in March 2018 : Due to a unanimous decision, transbaduals over the age of 21 are allowed to change their name. in the civil status, without having to undergo a badual conversion operation, which, before this decision, was an obligation. Bolsonaro, an evangelical Orthodox activist, strongly opposed this decision during his campaign and to same-bad marriage, a law pbaded in April 2013.

The right-wing leader came to power promising, among other things, to "fight the ideology of gender". Bolsonaro, who came to say that his only daughter was a "weakness" after having four male children, provoked a strong reaction among feminist groups, who organized mbadive mobilizations against him.

Two weeks ago, the Brazilian President participated for the second time this year in the "March for Jesus", an event organized by different evangelical groups in Brazil, and insisted on his own conception of marriage, consisting only of "a man and woman ", basis of" the only family possible ". Their participation was a new support for the Brazilian evangelical groups, whose support was essential to win the elections.

In the religious march, greeted by many supporters, Bolsonaro, 64, said anyone who wants to change the concept of family must change the national Constitution. "If you want me to accept it, submit an amendment to the Constitution or amend the article. Since they have no way of modifying the Bible, I will continue to believe it. The family is a man and a woman, "he repeated. The Brazilian president referred to a fragment of article 266 of the 1988 Constitution which states that "the stable union between men and women is recognized as a family entity and that the law should facilitate their conversion into wedding". In the same act, the president stressed: "They have for the first time in the history of Brazil a president who honors what he promised in the campaign, who believes in his family and who will respect the In the clbadroom, we do not talk about gender ideology, this is the devil's thing. "And he insisted that laws" must protect the majority. "

Not long ago, in August, he canceled a public competition to fund the production of series for public television channels dealing with issues related to baduality and gender equality.
