In this work, we aim to analyze how meaning production occurs in the discourse about non-binary language, seeking to understand which positions support discourse against this language. For this, we have as a theoretical-methodological basis the analysis of materialist discourse. Interested in contributing to this discussion that currently stands out regarding the standardization of language, we selected a YouTube video in which a Portuguese teacher talks about non-binary language. In our analysis, we were able to perceive how the enunciator shifts the discussion to a domain of morality and health, even creating a false opposition between non-binary individuals and other groups, such as deaf, blind, and dyslexic people, which leads us to consider that although she speaks as an enunciator from a certain social position located within the educational ideological apparatus, she occupies a subject position that is not that of an expert on the subject, meaning not following the functioning by which written discourse needs to adhere to legitimize itself, subjects and meaning are forged from a functioning of mediatization, validation through circulation, polemic, and the emptying of debate.
