Trump’s War on Gender
I hope that, in time, this page sits as an archive of a short but terribly stupid period in American history.
Trump had all the government websites with information about “gender ideology” removed. They came back online a few days later with this asinine language on them. What, you ask, is “gender ideology”? Quite simply, it is “gender”.

The asinine language:
Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of [February 11, 2025 at 11:59 p.m]. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.
