I have not heard of this being dogwhistle before. Hopefully those with more knowledge than me can tell me why it is one.

Its the equivalent of the "gay agenda"

I see. So teaching about gender is not an issue irrespective of whom you are teaching it to? Sorry, I’m not knowledgeable in this area.

Okay you can stop pretending that you're not acting in bad faith now. Obviously teaching people that trans people exist shouldn't be an issue just like teaching them the same about gay people, and noone neutral would believe it could be.

I don’t think it should be an issue either.
