Summary
Gender ideology is part of a dramatic transformation in the notion of selfhood that has been underway since at least the eighteenth century. This ideology is not an isolated phenomenon, but one element of a general anthropological shift that is taking place in modern society. When all external markers for stable identity are removed—even those provided by the physical sexed constitution of our own bodies—then the question of who exactly we are as individuals becomes both intensely urgent and impossible to answer.
