I had never heard of this group, but it got a huge amount of press coverage this weekend, after Trump, DeSantis, and Nikki Haley showed up at its conference to curry favor with the crucial proto-fascist PTA vote:

Top rivals for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination on Friday addressed the national conference of Moms for Liberty, appealing to the conservative parents-rights advocacy group with vows to bolster education and keep discussion of gender identity out of the classroom.

“Don’t mess with America’s moms,” former President Donald Trump told the crowd in Philadelphia, calling the group a “grassroots juggernaut.”

The appearance of Trump and rivals Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley at the summit served as a testament to the weight their campaigns are placing on race- and gender-based cultural issues related to education heading into next year’s nominating contests.

Culture war issues have animated parts of the Republican base, and the Republican rivals are hoping to appeal to parents of school-age children, particularly suburban women, an important voting bloc in U.S. presidential elections.

Trump, the front-runner in the race to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden, said he was best positioned among the field to win suburban women.

“You know what they want?” he said. “They want peace. They want lower taxes. They want good education.”

Trump vowed to “take historic action to defeat the toxic poison of gender ideology to restore the timeless truth that God created two genders, male and female.”

I’m no expert in this area, but my understanding is that the use of the word “gender” to describe the set of social expectations associated with peoples’ biological sex is something invented in the 1950s by American psychologists, so finding that particular distinction in the Book of Genesis is rather anachronistic. Although hardly surprising, given The Former Guy’s typical level of biblical exegesis.
