520 |a The past few years have seen the proliferation of an "anti-gender discourse" unfold as a deeply concerning crisis for LGBT+ people. In this article, I explore the salient details of this crisis in the core Anglosphere countries of the United Kingdom and the United States. I outline how this discourse is a concern not only for LGBT+ people and their allies but, through its place within the twenty-first century "polycrisis," a concern for everybody. Because this discourse has its roots in Christian theological frameworks, I argue that responses from within Christian theology are likely to be particularly effective in countering the harmful knowledge it produces. Thus, I explore two directions of queer theological work that offer responses to this crisis: direct contestations of the claims made by this discourse about non-normative gender identities and expressions, and theologically driven reconfigurations of relationality for all people in which new approaches to gender can emerge.
