You people have it all wrong! The lesser-known definition/concept of ideology (favored by Gramsci, Althusser, Foucault, Hall etc.) is less about a "visible set of beliefs" and more about the internalization of how one perceives and interacts with their reality. Though somewhat indirectly related, it generally has nothing to do with politics and economic policies.
Ideology is everything under the hood, everything you take for granted without consciously realizing it. Therefore, it would be safe to say that language is an ideology, since it follows a set of grammatical rules that we have to take for granted in order to communicate.
It would also be safe to say that love is an ideology, as loving someone does not take any conscious reasoning. Love is so deep-seated in us that we treat love as an unstoppable force, and not as simply as chemical fluctuations in the brain and body.
Really, anything could be seen as an ideology if we start deconstructing the very foundations of reality.

Get the Ideology mug.The ideology which holds, contrary to all existing biological, medical and psychological science, that there are "only two genders", that "sex and gender are synonymous".
This ideology was created by transphobic and transmiscic people who believe that transgender persons are delusional, that transgender persons can be turned into cisgender persons through conversion therapy, that conversion therapy is not quackery unsupported by medical evidence, that conversion therapy is not torture. Many gender ideologues also believe that there is a secret "transgender conspiracy" among greedy physicians and mentally ill teachers acting as "groomers", "grooming" cisgender children with a goal of "transing" them.

Proponents of gender ideology believe, as Dr. John Money did, that it is possible to groom cisgender children into becoming transgender. This is a belief not supported by science.
