President instructs US government to remove ‘radical gender ideology guidance’ and review diversity programs

Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order rolling back transgender and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, reversing key measures introduced by Joe Biden.

The new order declares the federal government will recognize only two genders and bans agencies from promoting gender transitions.

Federal documents, prisons, and agencies must comply.

Trump also targeted environmental justice grants and diversity training programs.

Civil rights groups condemned the move, pledging legal challenges.

    Now you’re complicit with the upcoming genocide of trans people but go ahead and enjoy that warm fuzzy feeling you have from saving Palestine from Kamala Harris.

      First they came for the Communists

      And I did not speak out

      Because I was not a Communist

      Then they came for the Socialists

      And I did not speak out

      Because I was not a Socialist

      Then they came for the trade unionists

      And I did not speak out

      Because I was not a trade unionist

      Then they came for the Jews

      And I did not speak out

      Because I was not a Jew

      Then they came for me

      And there was no one left

      To speak out for me

      This time around it’s started with Palestinians, democrats acting helpless to stop the genocide (while actually arming it). It does not fill me with confidence that if LGBT people became a political liability that democrats wouldn’t unite with the republicans on our extermination too.

        Solidarity with the Palestinians or any marginalized group doesn’t mean I have to allow bad things happen to everyone else.

        We don’t vote Democrat because they inspire us or we love them, we vote democrat as a form of overall harm reduction.

        In virtue signaling your opposition to Israel’s genocide, you’ve enabled American genocide of trans people, that’s how you know you fucked up.

          Except they don’t know they fucked up and never will. This is right wing thinking, no matter how much these people protest the allegations.

          Progressives don’t get stuck on nonsense. Progressive choose progress over regression and learn from mistakes. This person does not have those qualities.
