Staff ReportsPresident Trump continues to make good on his campaign promise to cleanse the federal government of progressive nonsense, and he’s diving into the fray with gusto. In a move that has likely sent shivers down the spines of self-proclaimed “woke” warriors nationwide, several federal departments received marching orders to ditch any mention of preferred pronouns from their communications. It appears the era of “He/Him,” “She/Her,” and “They/Them” in formal settings is coming to a swift end.
This latest directive has roots tracing back to a pair of executive orders Trump signed on day one of his presidency. Those orders, in true Trump fashion, boldly targeted the perceived extravagances of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies—as well as what is deemed as “gender ideology extremism.” Let’s be honest, far too many folks have been treating gender as if it were a buffet selection.
Federal employees from multiple agencies have just been ordered to remove their “pronouns” from email signatures by 5pm today.

Federal employees across various departments including Transportation, Energy, and the CDC received internal memos insisting on a new norm: no more preferred pronouns in email signatures or forms. These memos, reminiscent of a stern teacher reminding students to follow the rules, sent quite the clear message with deadlines attached. For example, the CDC emphasized that all such identifiers must be erased by 5 p.m. ET the same day. Talk about a rush hour for administrative compliance!
While some may be grumbling about this new policy, it signals a refreshing departure from the left’s obsession with identity politics that has seeped into every crevice of the federal establishment. Trump’s original orders aimed at dismantling the DEI fiasco echoed sentiments held by many Americans who simply want the government to focus on issues that truly matter rather than what pronouns one prefers. No one asked to have their official communications turn into a gender studies lecture.
Of course, not all are on board with this initiative. Reports have emerged about disgruntled employees at the CDC who feel their freedom of expression is being curtailed. One anonymous worker bemoaned the restrictions, expressing disbelief that after years in service, they’re suddenly being told what can and cannot be included in their email signature. It seems that some may have overlooked that a government job doesn’t require a personal manifesto in every correspondence.
Trump’s administration has promised to dismantle the radical policies implemented during the previous administration like a bulldozer through a sandcastle, and this latest move is just another stone in that path. By stripping away the layers of gender ideology, it not only preserves biological truths but also aims to foster a workplace centered on productivity rather than pronoun politics. In the end, it’s likely that many will come to appreciate returning to the era of common sense, where the focus remains on getting things done rather than indulging in the latest social trends.
