Javier Milei, Argentina’s president, has banned the use of “Marxist” gender-neutral language in government documents.
The prohibition targets all “inclusive language and everything related to the gender perspective throughout the national public administration”, said Manuel Adorni, the president’s spokesman at a press conference on Wednesday.
The ban is a reversal of the measures introduced by the previous leftist presidents Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Alberto Fernández – whose adult son recently changed his official gender to non-binary.
Dismissing the uproar over the new rules, Mr Adorni added: “It’s a debate in which we’re not going to participate because we consider that gender perspectives have been used as a political business.”
The move comes after Mr Milei shuttered Argentina’s Ministry of Women, Genders and Diversity in December and in February the National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism.
