The anti-gender speeches mobilizes various social groups to maintain the current order, based on a social, political and individual morality based on the centrality of the family as a social nucleus, in which men and women have pre-established and fixed roles based on heterosexuality. In Brazil, this discourse has gained momentum in recent years with the use of “gender ideology” as rhetoric for questioning and producing public policies, particularly educational ones. The materialization of anti-gender discourse in schools occurred, to a large extent, through complaints, via extrajudicial notification, a document that has no legal validity, but has symbolic value used for coercion and threats related to work with themes of gender, race and sexual diversity. Based on the results of research carried out in two reported schools, this article understands the process of preparing gender complaints as a biography capable of exploring gender complaints beyond the notification itself, but as a dispute over the meanings of the work carried out at school. Thus, one of the main contributions of this reflection is the fact that the complaints do not necessarily propose the interruption of the discussion about gender itself, but the maintenance of the hegemonic vision, based on binarism and the essentialist order of perceptions about sexual differences, with complex consequences for the school environment.
