Federal websites down as agencies implement executive order 'defending women'

This week, the Trump administration instructed all federal agencies to remove information from their websites pertaining to "gender ideology." On Friday, a flurry of reports indicated that exact thing was happening.

In a Wednesday memo, Office of Personnel Management Acting Director Charles Ezell instructed agencies to comply by Friday at 5 p.m. ET with an executive order that says its aim is "defending women from gender ideology extremism."

That memo laid out "steps to end federal funding of gender ideology." Among those was the instruction to "Take down all outward facing media (websites, social media accounts, etc.) that inculcate or promote gender ideology."

As of late Friday, attempting to reach the Census Bureau's 2020 Results page returned a message that that part of the site was down for maintenance. Similarly, its page on sexual orientation and gender identity was down, along with other pages including information on those topics.

The examples proliferated on social media, with academics, journalists and activists noting that basic information had disappeared from government websites. The CDC's HIV surveillance data disappeared, as noted by Aaron Richterman, a scientist at the University of Pennsylvania. Similarly, the CDC's Youth Risk Survey data is no longer accessible, which KFF's Cynthia Cox pointed out.

"OPM sent guidance to agencies to remove gender ideology-related content from their websites by 5 pm today as part of the efforts to defend women and uphold the truth of biological sex against the radical claims of gender activists," OPM communications director McLaurine Pinover said in a statement Friday evening. "This may have been misinterpreted to mean we would shut down government websites who weren't able to comply but that is not the plan for continuing to implement this important effort."

Many who support transgender rights oppose using the phrase "gender ideology," as it implies that being transgender is a belief system, as opposed to an identity.

That must mean something in National Propaganda Radio-speak and the Prozac ladies who speak it.

[HYPOCRACY]

They should call it gender scatology.

“”[Those] who support transgender rights”” and try to force it down our throat, force and groom children/teenagers no longer have a place from which to operate.

[Frank Drebin]

They're not opposing it because it isn't true. They know it's a belief system. A false religion...and one they demand you bow down to and celebrate in the perversion of it.

The people have said...no.

[MNJohnnie]

So they cannot just copy Government manufactured statistics anymore but have to do actual research now

[caww]

WINNING!.....

With the left, its Gender Idiotology.
