Many federal government agencies have changed or eliminated transgender language on their websites to comply with the executive order of President Donald Trump about gender ideology.

Trump issued the order “Defend women from the extremism of gender ideology and restore biological truth in the federal government”On his first day in office. According to the White House, policies are aimed at “defending women’s rights and protecting freedom of conscience through the use of clear and precise language and policies that recognize that women are biologically women and men are biologically men.”

The order specified: “It is the United States policy to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not modifiable and are based on a fundamental and incontrovertible reality. ”

Since the order was issued, several federal agencies have modified their websites. Below are some of the changes in the messages of the websites since Trump assumed the position.

The United States Department of State

The United States Department of State also eliminated the “X” gender marker in all consular forms, making possible only select “male” or “female.”

The change of the website coincides with a Trump administration directive not to process more passport requests sent using the “X” option.

Centers for disease control and prevention (CDC)

The website of the centers for disease control and prevention includes a notice that says it is being “modified to comply with the executive orders of President Trump”.

The site changed the name of an article called “Sater Food Options for pregnant people” to “Sure food options for pregnant women.”

CDC also eliminated specific data on the LGBT community and gender ideology, including a “short data” page with information about HIV among transgender people. The website also eliminated guidance pages on contraceptive methods for medical care providers.

The Federal Prison Office

The Federal Prison Office eliminated its “Transgender Delincuentes Manual”, which explained how the office provided “gender statement services to transgender people.”

A search on its website now alerts users: “This content is not temporarily available since we implement the executive order on ‘defending women from the extremism of gender ideology and restoring biological truth in the federal government'”.

The United States Census Office

The United States Census Office website on “Sexual orientation and gender identity” has been eliminated. Other pages of its website, including “mental health problems are more frequent among LGBT adults than among non -LGBT adults in all age groups,” are not currently active. According to the site files, both pages were available last week.
