From Breitbart: The Department of Justice (DOJ) instructed employees in a memo on Tuesday not to use “preferred pronouns” in their email signatures.
The DOJ sent the memo to the entire department, telling employees to scrap the woke dog whistle in alignment with President Donald Trump’s executive order “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” the Washington Times reported.
“Extraneous content, such as preferred pronouns, motivational quotes, and GIFs, shall not be used in the signature block,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche reportedly told employees in the memo. “The official Department logo may be added to the signature block at the employee’s discretion, directly below the last line in the block.”
“In pursuit of its law and order agenda each day, the Department deals with facts. To maintain the public trust, the Department’s communications must therefore reflect reality,” Blanche wrote, adding, “Signature blocks should not include extraneous and declarations, and certainly should not include content at odds with announced administration policies.”
“Effective immediately, Department employees should ensure that their signature blocks conform to the standards below and do not include extraneous content, such as preferred pronouns,” the memo continued.

The move is getting high praise from conservatives.
Lawyer Mike Davis wrote, “Amen. You don’t need to tell your work colleagues about skin pigment, genitals, attraction to genitals, and perception of genitals. And we definitely don’t need to read about your mental illness or virtue signaling (he/his/him) in every email.”
Amen.
You don’t need to tell your work colleagues about skin pigment, genitals, attraction to genitals, and perception of genitals.
And we definitely don’t need to read about your mental illness or virtue signaling (he/his/him) in every email. https://t.co/32fb6fVyK9
