From ABC News: Employees at multiple federal agencies were ordered to remove pronouns from their email signatures by Friday afternoon, according to internal memos obtained by ABC News that cited two executive orders signed by President Donald Trump on his first day in office seeking to curb diversity and equity programs in the federal government.
“Pronouns and any other information not permitted in the policy must be removed from CDC/ATSDR employee signatures by 5.p.m. ET on Friday,” according to one such message sent Friday morning to CDC staff.
Federal employees with the Department of Transportation received a similar directive on Thursday, the same day the department was managing the fallout from the D.C. plane crash near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Employees were instructed to remove pronouns from everything from government grant applications to email signatures across the department, sources told ABC News.
One federal employee who wished to remain anonymous fumed, “In my decade-plus years at CDC I’ve never been told what I can and can’t put in my email signature.”
The memo orders all federal agencies to “take down all outward facing media (websites, social media accounts, etc.) that inculcate or promote gender ideology.”
It also orders the agencies to “review agency email systems such as Outlook and turn off features that prompt users for their pronouns.”

The memos also include instructions on how to edit email signatures so no employees will later complain that they didn’t know how to do it.😂
Employees were instructed to remove pronouns from EVERYTHING else.
This administration is so savage.

FLASHBACK: Trump’s order is a huge contrast to what happened during the Biden-Harris administration:
🚨 BREAKING: Trump just ordered all federal employees to remove pronouns in their email signatures by 5pm today.
Remember this nonsense?
“… My pronouns are she and her, and I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.”
