In a major shift away from politically correct language, President Donald Trump has issued an executive order demanding that federal agencies remove gender-neutral pronouns from their communications. The move is a direct challenge to the progressive push that’s been reshaping the way Americans talk about gender in recent years.
Restoring Common Sense to Government Communications
Under Trump’s directive, government offices are now required to abandon terms like “they” or “them” in favor of clear, traditional language such as “man,” “woman,” “mother,” and “father.” This change comes as a response to the growing trend of using gender-neutral pronouns in official documents, a practice that has been widely promoted in schools, workplaces, and government offices. The President’s order makes it clear: biological reality comes first.
The CDC and Other Agencies Feel the Impact
One of the first agencies to feel the impact of the order is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The agency is now instructed to swap the word “gender” with “sex” in all its communications and on its website. This is just one example of how the Trump administration is working to reverse what many see as an overreach of gender ideology in the public sector. For Trump and his supporters, the move is a way to protect basic truths and reaffirm the biological differences between men and women.
No More Gender Pronouns in Email Signatures
Perhaps one of the most striking parts of the executive order is its impact on email communication. Federal employees will no longer be asked to include gender pronouns in their email signatures, a practice that has become common in recent years. Instead, government agencies will be required to stop using features that encourage users to declare their preferred pronouns. It’s a straightforward effort to eliminate what many consider a form of ideological pressure.
A Bold Stand for Traditional Values
The backlash has been swift from progressives and LGBTQ+ activists who argue that the President’s order undermines inclusivity. However, for many conservatives, this is a long-overdue correction. The idea that gender is fluid or a matter of personal choice is something that has increasingly shaped public policy in recent years, and Trump’s executive order aims to push back against this radical shift. By reinstating the use of clear, biologically grounded language, the administration is taking a stand for traditional values and the belief that facts matter, even in government.
