In a certain way, Gender Ideology goes back to the theory of "inversion" that described being a woman trapped in a man's body or vice-versa. This, of course, was a roundabout way of preserving heterosexuality by marking any man attracted to other men as a woman. Because, of course, to be attracted to men makes you a woman.

Someone else has mentioned Judith Butler, who's a major player, but I think one figure who doesn't get mentioned that much is Riki Wilchins, a trans woman who took Gender/Queer Theory and popularized it by publishing more accessible books. Wilchins also has/had a big career in tech and was responsible for pushing a pro-trans agenda across the tech industry.

It bothers me to no end that trans ideology is basically just old school homophobia with woke dressing on top and no one seems to realize this or talk about it.
