President Javier Milei of Argentina has announced a ban on gender ideology and “everything related to the gender perspective” in the country’s public administration. The decision comes as part of his efforts to eliminate what he considers to be “indoctrination” and “cultural Marxism” in the government.
This announcement follows the Ministry of Defense’s decision to prohibit the use of inclusive language in communications between the agency and the Armed Forces.
The government has also shut down Argentina’s national anti-discrimination agency as part of President Milei’s drive to slim down the state.

President Milei, who has described himself as an ultra-libertarian “anarcho-capitalist,” holds conserImafgvative stances on issues such as abortion and climate change. He has been vocal in his opposition to so-called “gender ideology,” which he sees as a form of “indoctrination” and “cultural Marxism.”
Critics argue that the ban on inclusive language and gender ideology in the public administration could have negative consequences for Argentina’s LGBTQ community. However, President Milei and his supporters maintain that the move is necessary to promote traditional values and combat what they perceive as a threat to society.
As President Milei continues to implement his policies, the impact of these changes on Argentina’s political landscape remains to be seen.
