There was a lot in the news about who the Republican Senate candidate would be in PA and Dr. Oz was chosen. He will run against Democrat Fetterman.

There was a lot in the news about who the Republican Senate candidate would be in PA and Dr. Oz was chosen. He will run against Democrat Fetterman.
I am not exactly following the PA Senate race but was very disturbed to find that Fetterman hired a radical trans activist. Per the article I posted above:
"Pennsylvania lieutenant governor John Fetterman’s (D.) campaign for Senate is tapping a far-left activist who has called allowing children to undergo surgical gender transitions a matter of "human rights."
The Fetterman campaign launched Real Doctors Against Oz Wednesday, an initiative meant to discredit Mehmet Oz, the Republican nominee for Senate. Val Arkoosh is among the activists taking shots at Oz. Arkoosh, a failed Senate candidate, has a history of pushing gender theory. When she was still a candidate for Senate, Arkoosh sent out an email calling a parent’s right to refuse "gender affirming care" for their children a "gross violation of both human rights and the relationship between a patient and their doctor." She also falsely claims that it’s legal to discriminate against transgender individuals in employment."
Thank you so much! That was really clear and helpful. I like that Radical part in the phrase.
I have been replacing "gender" with "sex role" as much as possible, because gender refers to the products of sex-role socialization from birth, onward. The word "gender" is being used to obscure and mystify what is being referred to, exactly. Sex-role also shows the sexism, regressiveness, superficiality, and absurdity of this ideology. For example:
Gender-affirming care becomes sex-role affirming care
Gender identity becomes sex-role identity
Etc.
So Radical Gender Theory would become Radical Sex-Role Theory. Does anyone really want to embrace sex roles in 2022? Hopefully not, especially not lefties.
I think a problem with your tweak is that people who are not steeped in the nightmare themselves and are not paying much attention may not understand what problem or concern you are discussing... Christopher Rufo explains how RGT is effective:
"'Radical Gender Theory' Is the Perfect Catch-All Term for Our Current Gender Madness"
"Others agreed with Rufo, including Peter Boghossian, who said that the terminology works not just for conservatives but also for our fellow travelers on the left who are fighting against wokeness.

I'm hoping conservatives can unite behind the phrase "radical gender theory" as the catch-all for queer theory, trans ideology, neo-pronouns, and gender identity activism that has captured America's public institutions. It's accurate, powerful, and persuasive language.
"Gender ideology" is good, but works better in European and Latin American contexts. "Queer Theory" is the academic term, but normie parents will be hesitant to use the word. "Radical gender theory" is accurate, flexible, and builds on the connotation of "critical race theory."
The Left's linguistic defense on CRT was to say "CRT is only in law schools" and "that's not explicitly labeled CRT." "Radical gender theory" will neutralize both those defenses: we're imposing the label on a set of concepts and ideologies; debating the specifics is a win for us.
We can elaborate on Michel Foucault, Gayle Rubin, and Judith Butler for technical and academic audiences. But for communicating with the average mom who's seeing this ideology spreading in her local school district, "radical gender theory" hits all the right buttons."
I'll add that I am neither on the Left nor on the Right. I just want Normal back so that we are no longer organizing life around mental disorder, fetish, and confused kids who are collateral damage in a war of greed and crazy.

Pure evil. So, I hope Fetterman loses to Oz.

Oh, I have started referring to Radical Gender Theory (RGT) more than Gender Ideology (GI) after picking up on it from other writers.

Thank you for letting me know about RGT.
Here is an example of RGT in use: https://nypost.com/2022/07/22/las-radical-gender-theory-material-will-harm-k-12-kids/
