Abstract
For more than a decade, the evolution of the word “gender” and its accompanying discourse have become increasingly important to intellectual debates and practice. the term was initially used in a grammatical arena to identify masculine, feminine and neutral words. however, the term has changed since the second half of the XX Century given the increasing use in other fields, often replacing the word sex, traditionally used to distinguish the human male-female duality. this fact is evident in contemporary anthropological, social, political and legal discourse. and although the word “gender” does not have a positive or negative meaning per se, its many interpretations are fairly problematic. two interpretations stand out today: “gender perspective” and “gender ideology.”

For more than a decade, the evolution of the word “gender” and its accompanying discourse have become increasingly important to intellectual debates and practice. the term was initially used in a grammatical arena
to identify masculine, feminine and neutral words. however, the term has changed since the second half of the XX Century given the increasing use in other fields, often replacing the word sex, traditionally used to distinguish
the human male-female duality. this fact is evident in contemporary anthropological, social, political and legal discourse. and although the word “gender” does not have a positive or negative meaning per se, its many interpretations are fairly problematic. two interpretations stand out today: “gender perspective” and “gender ideology.”
