The Content Trump Is FORCING Federal Agencies To Remove

Federal agencies have begun sweeping changes to remove gender-related content from websites and communications following a presidential directive.

At a Glance

  • Federal agencies ordered to remove “gender ideology” from websites and communications
  • Public health data, including transgender health information, removed from CDC website
  • State Department employees instructed to remove gender-specific pronouns from email signatures
  • Trump’s Executive Order mandates defining sex as male or female on official documents

Sweeping Changes Across Federal Agencies

In a move that has sent ripples through various government departments, federal agencies have been directed to remove what has been termed as “gender ideology” from websites, contracts, and emails. The Office of Personnel Management issued a memo outlining these changes, setting a specific deadline for implementation. This directive comes as part of President Trump’s recent Executive Order, which mandates defining sex as either male or female on official documents and policies.

The impact of these changes has been far-reaching. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has removed public health data, including vital information on transgender health issues, from its website. The Bureau of Prisons has altered webpage titles and removed data on transgender inmates. Meanwhile, the State Department has eliminated the option for nonbinary gender selection on passport applications and modified related terminology.

The directive extends beyond website content to affect personal communication within government agencies. State Department employees received instructions to remove gender-specific pronouns from their email signatures. This change was communicated in no uncertain terms, as evidenced by a directive from a senior official.

“All employees are required to remove any gender identifying pronouns from email signature blocks by 5:00 PM today,” Tibor Nagy said.

At the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), staff members were directed to flag the use of “gender” in contracts. This has raised concerns about potentially targeting inclusion efforts within the agency’s operations.

Implications for Public Health and Beyond

The removal of health resources has not gone unnoticed by the scientific community. Disease experts have criticized these actions, citing potential gaps in scientific information. The Infectious Diseases Society of America has been particularly vocal about the removal of HIV-related information from government websites.

However, the government has since confirmed that HIV research will continue despite a pause in foreign aid, and regardless of the new rules about gender-obsessed content online.

The changes extend beyond health-related content, too. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the military to stop recognizing identity, citing concerns over camaraderie and mission execution. The Office of Personnel Management has instructed agencies to disband employee resource groups and terminate related grants and contracts.

President Trump has expressed support for these changes, including the removal of mentions of diversity, equity, and inclusion from government websites. When asked about the removal of such content, the President’s response was clear.

“I don’t know. That doesn’t sound like a bad idea to me,” Trump said.

As these changes continue to unfold, many government websites have experienced disruptions, with some pages disappearing or showing error messages. The full extent of these policy changes and their long-term implications for federal operations and public access to information remain to be seen.
