The term — initially rooted in the idea that gender is a social construct — has become a catch-all for right-wing groups targeting what they see as a progressive agenda that includes everything from access to abortion to sex education to LGBTQ+ rights.
The fact that people who don't understand what "gender-critical" actually means use the term to describe something entirely different does not mean that the term is a "catch-all" for it.
What a weird thing to lie about... haven't read the rest as this lie is a red flag.
