Some government websites briefly went offline after federal agencies were ordered to remove language related to diversity, equity, and inclusion following an executive order signed by President Trump. The order stated that only male and female genders are to be recognized by the federal government. Many webpages, including those for the FAA, Census Bureau, and Justice Department, were affected by these changes. The Office of Personnel Management distributed a memo ordering all references to “gender ideology” to be removed by a certain deadline. The Trump administration has already removed numerous webpages related to health agencies, including the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Some webpages related to HIV, reproductive rights, and gender identity were among those scrubbed.
Federal employees were also instructed to comply with orders to eliminate support for DEI efforts within the military and civilian agencies. The CDC began removing content related to gender identity, including information on contraception and emergency contraception. Trump had mentioned in an interview that he would not restrict the availability of medication abortions during his second term. Overall, there was widespread removal of web content related to diversity, equity, and reproductive rights in response to the White House order.
