t's literally the cult of ignorance.

It's not ignorance. It's propaganda. They are using "European" and "enforcing a gender binary" as two negative terms that self-reinforce each other:

  1. "European" is bad, therefore since Europeans "enforce a gender binary", "enforcing a gender binary" is bad.
  2. "Enforcing a gender binary" is bad, since Europeans are the ones responsible for this, "Europeans" are bad.

It's a classic propaganda technique. It can work by associating one "bad" term with one that isn't, but you'll note that even people already perceive both those terms as "bad", it can also create a positive-feedback loop to make both terms perceived as even worse.

(To avoid any doubt I'm not saying either of those terms is actually negative, I'm explaining the motives of quoted author.)
