On November 4, 2025, debates titled "The Trans Ideology Threat: EU Women’s Rights in Danger" took place in the European Parliament. Politicians, scientists, and public figures stated that the new strategy of the European Commission in the field of LGBT equality undermines the foundations of traditional societies in Europe. This was reported by the European Conservative.

The organizer of the discussion, a Hungarian Member of the European Parliament, emphasized that the European Commission "has overstepped its authority" by interfering in the family, educational, and gender policies of member states.

“Family policy is a national competence,” he said, “yet the elites in Brussels are trying to impose their will on member states.” The MEP noted that the EU’s new strategy seeks to harmonise gender recognition laws and fund NGOs that promote trans activism. “Gender ideology is anti-woman, anti-family, and anti-European,” he warned. “We must restore common sense in Europe—and for that, let women speak.”

According to the participants, transgender ideology is becoming a tool of pressure on dissenters, especially in the field of education.

"Teachers are forced to tell children that gender can be chosen," said British activist Kellie-Jay Keen. We are teaching girls that their boundaries don’t matter,” she explained, “and we’re calling it inclusion. Silence against trans ideology isn’t kindness—it’s surrender."

Experts also highlighted the financial aspect of the issue. According to Canadian sociologist Ashley Frawley, the European Union supports non-governmental organizations promoting the transgender agenda in educational programs through grant programs.

“The EU doesn’t have competence in education,” she pointed out, “yet it acts as if it owns the classroom.” According to Frawley, the EU uses indirect funding mechanisms “to insert gender ideology into school curricula under the guise of non-discrimination and diversity.”

According to the organizers, this event marked the beginning of a broader discussion in the European Parliament about the boundaries of gender policy, the protection of women's rights, and the preservation of freedom of opinion in the European Union.

The UOJ previously reported that the EU intends to strip Slovakia of its voting rights due to its defense of two genders.
