Federal government scrubs transgender language from websites

Many federal government agencies have changed or removed transgender wording on their websites to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order on gender ideology.
Trump issued the order, “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” on his first day in office. According to the White House, the policies are meant to “defend women’s rights and protect freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female and men are biologically male.”
The order specified: “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.”
Since the order was issued multiple federal agencies have altered their websites. Here’s a look at some of the changes in website messaging since Trump took office.
The U.S. Department of State
A U.S. Department of State webpage offering travel advisories changed a listing from “LGBTGIA+ Travel Information” to “LGB Travel Information.”
The U.S. Department of State also removed the “X” gender marker on all consular forms, making it only possible to select “male” or “female.”
The website’s change coincides with a Trump administration directive to no longer process passport applications submitted using the “X” option.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website includes a notice that it is being “modified to comply with President Trump’s executive orders.”
The site renamed an article called “Safer Food Choices for Pregnant People,” to “Safer Food Choices for Pregnant Women.”
The CDC also removed data specific to LGBT and gender ideology. This included a “fast facts” page with information regarding HIV among transgender people. The website also took down contraceptive guidance pages for health care providers.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons
The Federal Bureau of Prisons removed its “Transgender Offender Manual,” which explained how the bureau provided “gender-affirming services to transgender individuals.”
A search on its website now alerts users: “This content is temporarily unavailable as we implement the executive order on ‘Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.’”
The U.S. Census Bureau
The U.S. Census Bureau’s webpage on “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity” has been removed. Other pages on its website, including “Mental Health Struggles Higher Among LGBT Adults Than Non-LGBT Adults in All Age Groups,” are also not currently active. According to site archives, both pages were available last week.
