Sweeping Changes Across Federal Agencies
In a rapid response to President Trump’s Executive Order, federal agencies have implemented sweeping changes to align with new directives targeting “gender ideology.” The Office of Personnel Management issued a memo mandating the removal of gender-related content from websites, contracts, and employee communications by a specific deadline.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) promptly removed public health data, including crucial information on transgender health issues, from its website. This action has raised concerns among disease experts about potential gaps in scientific information vital for public health.
Have you ever seen a President make changes this big, and so sweeping, so quickly? We haven’t!
Impact on Government Services and Documentation
The Bureau of Prisons altered webpage titles and removed data pertaining to transgender inmates. In a significant move, the State Department eliminated the option for nonbinary gender selection on passport applications and modified related terminology.
This directive extends beyond documentation. State Department employees were instructed to remove gender-specific pronouns from their email signatures, marking a notable shift in official communication practices.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) also directed staff to flag the use of “gender” in contracts, raising concerns about the potential targeting of inclusion efforts. Meanwhile, several government websites, including those of the Census Bureau and National Park Service, became inaccessible during this transition period.
President Trump’s Executive Order mandates defining sex as male or female on official documents and policies. This directive has far-reaching implications, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordering the military to cease recognition of gender identity, citing concerns over camaraderie and mission execution.
America is becoming sane again!
