Summary

Federal agencies removed critical public health data and transgender resources from their websites after receiving a directive to eliminate all “gender ideology” references.

The order urgently required agencies to remove gender terms from websites, contracts, emails, and employee signatures while disbanding resource groups and terminating grants.

Key public health information, including CDC guidance on contraception, HIV, and transgender issues, was removed, leaving dangerous critical gaps in scientific data.

Officials and experts warned that the changes undermine inclusivity and obstruct disease prevention, marking a broader rollback of transgender rights and diversity.
