An ideology is something you believe, possibly irrationally. By talking about "gender ideology" you are implying that being trans is something you think rather than something you are. It is the same idea as the "choice to be gay" bullshit.
Ideologies are also things that people often try to convince others of or convert people to, so there is an implication that "they are coming to turn your children trans", another common refrain from people trying to whip up transphobic panic.
